This document discusses the toxic materials found in electronics like cell phones and discusses the environmental and health issues they can cause. It notes that many hazardous metals like mercury, cadmium, and lead are used in electronics and describes how mercury is used in LCD screens. When electronics become e-waste, the toxins can leach into the environment. However, recycling of e-waste in some countries is often done unsafely by hand, exposing workers and children to the toxins. The document calls for more responsible recycling and reduction of toxic materials in electronics.
