Oh i seen a show on this. Companies claim to recycle your old appliances like TVS, computers, etc… and its actually being shipped by freight liners to china where little kids disassemble the products and it causes them to cut their fingers, causes birth defects, pollutes their land and so on. this is so sad 🙁
All the e-waste in my area is recycled in my city and not by Chinese. They use all the safety equipment required.
Before when we were shipping all that stuff to other countries including China and India it wasn’t considered recycling, and who knows how many people will die because of it. Much of it was dumped in or near water and has contaminated the water supply for entire communities and it could take decades to see the results of heavy metal poisoning, increased cancers, birth defects etc. It will have lasting damage to both wild life, domestic animals used for food and the humans in the area. Not to mention those who actually try to recycle some materials, thye usually heat a circuit board over an open flame and inhale noxious gases to get the precious metals off the board.
I am going to have to assume that an extremely small amount of people die during the process of disassembling,and recycling electronics. Could you give us some information on this subject; so we have an insight as to why you are asking this question?
