Bangkok, November 14, 2566 – With rapidly evolving technology, the global volume of electronic waste has been increasing each year. Improper management of electronic waste has detrimental effects on the environment and all living organisms. Hazardous substances from electronic waste, such as heavy metals, when disposed of in landfills, can contaminate soil and various water sources. These pollutants enter the ecosystem, impacting not only the environment but also the entire food chain, posing health risks to humans. For instance, toxins from e-waste can damage the nervous system, blood circulation, kidney function, and when incinerated, emit foul odors and airborne pollutants that may contribute to the development of cancer.
