ENVI I

E-living, E-wasteful: A recent report from the World Health Organisation (WHO) indicates the greater health impact that informal processing of ‘e-waste’ can have on children. Often, children in low-income countries live near or are employed in informal processing procedures, in close proximity to harmful and toxic substances, such as lead and nickel. A large proportion of this e-waste is exported from high-income countries to lower-income nations, who often struggle with underdeveloped e-waste regulation frameworks or enforcement. What can Europe do to lessen its e-waste impact and tackle this escalating health crisis?
