COMPONENTS Effects (Human being - Is included in these

Environment) electronics

An effect is that the workers It's used in springs, relays,

can carry beryllium dusts in connections and in
their shoes, clothes, etc. motherboards.
Beryllium exposing their family
members, in some of the
cases the workers develop
beryllium sensitivity and
chronic beryllium disease, it
also affects to the lungs.

The incineration can release are used in laptops, contacts

can release cadmium and switches
compounds to the air can be
hazardous to workers
Cadmium through the inhalation of
cadmium sulfide containing
dusts.
It is highly toxic to the
plants, animals and humans.

Chromium Hexavalent Hexavalent chromium is is used in electrical and

highly toxic and electronic equipment
carcinogenic.
Is also toxic to animals and
plants

Lead Workers using lead based metallic electrical solder

solders may also be primarily
exposed to lead-bearing
dusts and fumes.

Mercury Mercury can enter water is used in lighting device

bodies and be transformed that illuminate flat screens
to methyl mercury, a highly display, relays, switches,
toxic form of mercury that computers
can bioaccumulate and
biomagnify to high levels in
food chain.

Brominated Flame While the acute toxicity of flames in a variety of

Retardants BFRs is considered to be plastics and others materials
low, chronic exposure to
PBDEs has been shown to
interfere with brain and
skeletal development in
animal experiment.

Polyvinyl Chloride These chemicals are highly is used in electrical and

persistent in the electronic products including
environment, able to wires and cables
 bioaccumulate and many
are toxic at very low
concentrations.

Because of their extensive is used in range of industrial

use in building material and and consumers applications
Phthalates household products,
phthalates are common
contaminants in indoor air.

Global consumption of this Antifouling paints on ships

Organotins the marine environmental metals tin.
because of the component
they throw away.
