Dirty Technology





Ive been researching into e-waste particually waste generated from deskop and laptop computers. I havnt managed to find strong facts about the waste created from the computers yet but i found an article which is about the materials used in computer. Some of the most hazarous materials inside the computers are lead, magnezium and silicon when computers are dumped into landfills these toxic materials effect the surrounding lakes and fields. Most of the computers are dumped in india and china, reasurch is bieng led into the effects of these materials which poeple say can cause cancer and birth defects.
