Abstract
In the past few years there is a revolution in electronic industry, which increases the volume and varieties of both solid and hazardous wastes. Urbanization Industrialization, fast changes in technologies leave a negative impact on health of human beings. Also increases the pollution in air, land and water. A growing municipal waste contains hazardous electrical and electronics products. When dumped in landfill will pollute the environment badly. This waste is usually named as E-waste
(Electrical an Electronics Waste).In the absence of suitable techniques and protective measures, recycling e-waste can result in toxic emissions to the air, water and soil and pose a serious health and environmental hazard-waste is assuming serious proportions in developing countries and urgent steps need to be taken to mitigate this problem. This paper highlights the problem posed by e-waste and its hazards on environment and health.
