INTRODUCTIONHealth is always considered as the most important factor for human life. Without health, we can't do anything. Many factors in daily activities can affect your health, such as food, drinks, soil, water, air or, so to speak, the environment around us. Because the environment plays a vital role in human health, we try to do everything to preserve it. However, there are still some activities that we might think are safe for us and the environment; if they kill us in the distant future. One of them is to recycle electronic equipment. Nowadays, electronic waste (e-waste) is increasing rapidly in the United States and many people know that they should not just throw e-waste in the trash, because it can be delivered to the landfill, burned and left behind. chemicals in groundwater. . This is very dangerous because it could kill all the trees that feed the groundwater and it could enter our drinking water. Therefore, they end up giving these broken electronic devices to an e-waste recycler without knowing where their e-waste will go. However, in the past, it was always unsafe to take these broken electronic equipment to an e-waste recycler due to unskilled recycling and labor safety process. Today, E-Stewards Certification, a new highly qualified environmental and worker safety retraining program, was launched. I will explain why this is dangerous for us before the release of E-Stewards certification, the definition and reliability of E-Stewards certification. WHY IS RECYCLING ELECTRONIC WASTE WITHOUT E-STEWARDS CERTIFICATION REALLY DANGEROUS FOR US? around 40 million computers and televisions are thrown away every year middle of paper...... worldwide, products are marked with the e-Stewards label, visible to consumers as well as in places where people can recycle their electronic waste. One possible solution is that I think in the future, scientists should find a new way to make electronic equipment with fewer chemicals. Works Cited[1] Lyman, Francesca. (May 6, 2010).
