Electronic waste [e- waste] ends up in Landfills.
Dangerous Toxic Materials like lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium can cause enormous environmental problems. Many of these metals comprise circuit boards, computer chips, monitors and even wiring.
Flame-retardant chemicals in some electronics might pose potential health risks when exposed.
While these dangerous elements are safely encased in our computers and devices, there is no danger but if the devices break, it can leak and contaminate the atmosphere, ground, and water.
Bioaccumulation occurs when people plants and animals build up levels of toxic substances in their bodies faster than they can get rid of it.
Biomagnification occurs when toxin levels accumulate within the food chain. For example, plankton might absorb low levels of mercury and fish eat large amounts of plankton. The problem accumulates as birds or humans eat the mercury-tainted fish. Bioaccumulation is already happening in much of the United States wild-caught fish supplies.
