E-Waste A Challenge For Us

Electronic waste may be defined as all secondary computers, entertainment device electronics, mobile phones, and other items such as television sets and refrigerators, whether sold,donated, or discarded by their original owners. The definition includes used electronics which are destined for reuse, salvage, recycling, or disposal. There are cloronated and brominated elements, poisionous metals, photo active elements, acid and plastics in personal computers which pollute the atmosphere.Some electronic scrap components such as CRTs contain contaminants such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, mercury,and brominated flame retardants. Enviromental groups claims tha the informal processing of electronic waste in developing countries causes serious health and pollution problems.Now the time has come to salve this problem. Today the electronic waste recycling business is in all areas of the developed world and rapidly consolidating business. In developed countries, electronic waste processing usually first involves dismantling the equipment into various parts ( metal frames, power supplies, circuit boards, plastics ),often by hand, The advantages of this process are the human's ability to recognige and save working and repairable parts, including chips, transistors, RAM, etc. The disadvantage is that the labor is often cheapest in countries with the lowest health and safety standards. If we want to manage e-waste than before we buy anything we have to ask with the dealer about reclycling process of that item. We have to buy only reclycling items.
