Listen "#53 (TECH) E-Waste And Its Impact On Children And Women"
Episode Synopsis
For today's tech episode. We’re going to be talking about... the crisis of e-waste and children’s health.
We’ll specifically be referencing a report by the World Health Organization from 2021 titled “Children and digital dumpsites: e-waste exposure and child health”
The report summarizes the latest scientific knowledge on the links between informal e-waste recycling activities and health outcomes in children.
By endangering tens of millions of children and women of childbearing age, improper disposal of e-waste threatens the health and abilities of future generations.
A problem, that is most severe where impoverished city dwellers work in or live near informal dumps and landfills. These unmonitored sites in low and middle-income countries receive a large share of global e-waste.
