In today's lifestyle e waste is the most overlooked form of pollution. Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for refurbishment, reuse, resale, salvage recycling through material recovery, or disposal are also considered e-waste. Informal processing of e-waste in developing countries can lead to adverse human health effects and environmental pollution.
Improper disposal of e-waste can lead to toxins — including mercury, lead, and cadmium — flowing into the groundwater. Groundwater makes its way to streams, ponds, and lakes, which are sources of water for animals, plants, and humans.
Thus I conclude that E waste should not be ignored and serious restrictions must be imposed as it is affecting human, aqua, forest lives .
