Abstract
E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to discarded electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and televisions. It is a growing problem as technology advances and people constantly upgrade to newer devices. It can be harmful to the environment & human health if not properly, disposed of. These devices contain a variety of toxic materials, such as lead and mercury that can leach into the soil and groundwater if left in landfills. It is important for individuals and companies to properly recycle or dispose of e-waste to reduce its negative impact on the environment.
