The Silent Crisis of E-Waste Recycling
In the narrow streets of the Indian city Mumbai's Dharavi neighborhood,34-year-old Rajesh
spends his days taking apart old electronics-computers,phones,and televisions-that wealthier
citizens throw away.The workshop where he works1(lack)proper airflow and is filled
with circuit boards that contain harmful metals like lead and mercury.For over a decade,
Rajesh2(breathe)in smoke from melted plastics and acids used to extract valuable metals.
He is unaware of 3 harm these substances could do to his body.
Studies show that e-waste,which accounts for 5%of global solid waste,is rarely recycled
safely in developing countries.Although governments have introduced regulations,nearly 80%of
thrown-away electronics end up in informal workshops like Rajesh's.Experts warn that workers
not provided protection 4 the metals face serious health problems."The harmful substances
they're exposed to daily can damage kidneys,nervous systems,and in
5 (bad)cases,
even cause cancer,"says Dr.Anika Patel,an environmental health researcher.
Rajesh's situation reflects a global imbalance.Wealthy nations,with consumer behavior
6(drive)by a constant desire to upgrade devices,produce massive e-waste.In contrast,the
burden (of processing e-waste falls unfairly on communities lacking the resources to protect
themselves.Many workers,whose families depend on this dangerous job,7(not)afford to
quit.
Efforts to address the crisis are slowly emerging.NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations)
have begun training workers like Rajesh on safer techniques and advised8(wear)gloves
and masks,which they have distributed.However,progress is slowed by economic realities.
"Recycling devices properly requires expensive machines,"Rajesh explains,"but no one wants to
pay extra for9_”
The issue extends beyond health.Soil and water near e-waste sites have been polluted,
affecting millions who rely on these resources.10 safer systems are valued above anything
else,the cycle of harm-driven by inequality-will continue.
