<br/><br/> "Visit the streets of a Chinese village called Guiyu (GWEE-yoo), and you might see a child dragging a computer mouse behind her. Computer mice are favorite new toys in Guiyu. Thanks to the village's computer-recycling industry, the people of Guiyu have jobs, their children have toys, and old electronics are turned into copper, lead, and gold and put to good use again. Sounds great, doesn't it? Actually, no. Some parts of computers are extremely toxic, and the recycling methods used in Guiyu and many other places in the developing world are fouling the environment and endangering the health of mouse-dragging children and their families." (CURRENT SCIENCE) This article discusses the environmental and health risks posed by the recycling of electronic waste in developing nations and suggests ways for consumers to reduce e-waste.
