evidence of the release of toxic heavy metals as well as contaminants to our environment, and a major source of contaminants is seen in informal recycling sectors, and
informal Electronic-waste recycling has long been accepted to lead to dangerous
environmental pollution. The international health community, policy experts, and
non-governmental organizations in a joint venture with the national government
should create awareness among people, through the creation of policy solutions,
conducting educational programmes, and setting up goals for the reduction of
Electronic-waste exposure and its health effects.
