Every day average households and local businesses dispose of mountains of e-waste, containing hazardous and toxic materials that pose a serious threat to our environment. CRT monitors, with toxic lead oxide, can poison our drinking water for future generations. PC related components , like batteries with chromium, nickel, zinc, mercury, and other heavy metals can be fatal with exposure. Accessories with plastic housings can release dangerous gases if incinerated into the air we breathe. |
