The year 2022 saw an alarming 62 million tonnes of e-waste generated worldwide, marking an 82% increase from 2010. This dramatic rise in electronic waste is not only an environmental disaster but also a severe health hazard. E-waste contains hazardous substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium that can leach into the environment, contaminating soil and water sources. The health risks associated with these toxins are severe, potentially leading to serious diseases and health complications. Immediate and effective action is needed to enhance recycling programs and reduce electronic waste to prevent further harm to both our planet and our health.
