E-Waste Exportation and Cyber Crimes

Two major problems were revealed in the documentary: cyber crime that occurred as a result of misusing the health of the affected population and the personal information contained in the hard drive. The first one is probably the most serious and most countries receiving such electronic waste do not have adequate facilities to handle it (Li et al., 2012), often using child labor (University of British Columbia, 2009). As a result, tens of thousands of people are exposed to toxic gases and heavy metals during work, but they are unaware of the dangers of such activities (Grant et al., 2013).

Electronic waste or electronic waste represents a waste electronic product such as a computer, TV, printer, mobile phone. According to the recent BBC Panorama program, the annual amount of electronic waste generated around the world is 20 to 50 million tons, of which 100,000 tons are exported from the coast of the UK. Most of the world's electronic waste is exported to China. After exposing the cultured lung cells to the organic soluble and water soluble components of the sample, researchers tested the levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are important mediators of the inflammatory response did. , Chemically reactive molecules that can cause excessive widespread damage

Part of the US electronic waste, which is important, but not finally quantified, has been quietly exported mainly to Asia. Until last year, we assumed that China processed 70% of the world's processed e-waste. In January this year Beijing fully banned the importation of electronic waste as part of the "national sword" campaign to reduce the so-called "foreign waste" level. Despite environmental problems such as children whose rivers are blocked with toxic chemicals and have high levels of lead in the local blood, Beijing's movement is a symbol of its self-sufficiency and the increase in rejection in the West It seems. This prohibition disrupts worldwide e-waste transactions and transfers huge amounts of funds to small-scale countries with inappropriate facilities.

Why is such a problem in electronic waste? In addition to handling a large amount of electronic waste, the world is concerned with harmful substances contained in electronic waste. Various materials such as heavy metals, gas, plastic, chlorinated solvents are used for the manufacture of electronic products and their parts. The most common toxic substances contained in electronic waste are as follows. How will the changing waste trends develop into an electronic waste crisis? Over the past few decades, our society has become increasingly dependent on electronics and electronics to make it more accessible. Fifty years ago, when families purchased television, they saved television for over 10 years before processing the television. However, as the company continues to introduce new upgrades and improved technology, many families upgrade television every few years.
