U.S.-NEW YORK STATE-E-WASTE RECYCLING LAW-TAKE EFFECT
(110404) -- NEW YORK, April 4, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Working staff clear up the E-wastes sent by residents in New York, the United States, April 3, 2011.
A state law took effect on April 1 requiring electronic manufacturers to make it free and convenient for New York residents to recycle their old or broken computers, television sets and gadgets. The new law mandates that manufacturers pay for the collection, handling and recycling of electronic products to keep materials that may contain toxic metals like lead and mercury from going into the trash, and later into incinerators and landfills. Part of the goal is to make it simpler for consumers to prepare for 2015, when it will be illegal to throw electronics into the regular trash. (Xinhua/Wu Kaixiang) (lyx)

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.

In Delhi alone over 10,000 people are employed in recycling activites. Most are unaware of the health implications of handling such toxic materials. They wear no protection againts the harmful chemicals and heavy metals present in fumes and workshop dust.
