Detailed explanation-1: -Due to ongoing technological advancement, many electronic products become obsolete within a very short time period, creating a large surplus of unwanted electronic products, or “e-waste.” Disposing of e-waste in landfills has the potential to cause severe risk to human and environmental health.
Detailed explanation-2: -E-waste is hazardous because the components used to make devices such as laptops, cell phones, and televisions, contain metals and chemicals known to harm human health. Children, who are especially vulnerable to the effects of e-waste, often work, live, and play in or near e-waste recycling centers.
