Ground contamination in a village on the Delhi border, India, August 2006. The environmental implications of e-waste recycling are severe contamination of the workplace and surrounding area by a number of toxic metals and persistent organic compounds. Acidification of watercourses and sediments from waste acid makes metals more mobile and therefore much more likely to cause damage to both humans and aquatic life. Waste produced at every stage of the e-waste dismantling process is contaminated with toxic metals.
India has become one of the world's largest dumping grounds for electronic waste, known as e-waste. Thousands of tons are sent illegally each year from western countries including the UK for recycling. It is dismantled by hand, unwanted parts are then dumped or sent to landfill where lethal toxins, such as lead, cadmium and mercury contaminate the environment.
