Much of modern electronic equipment contains toxic ingredients. Vast amounts are routinely and often illegally shipped as waste from Europe, USA and Japan to countries in Asia as it is easier and cheaper to dump the problem on poorer countries with lower environmental standards. This practise exposes the workers and communities involved in dismantling e-waste to serious, environmental problems, danger and health hazards. Greenpeace is strongly urging major manufactures to exclude toxic materials from their products.Locations:Asia-China-LonggangDate:9 Mar, 2005Credit:© Greenpeace / Natalie BehringMaximum size:5100px X 3400pxKeywords:Close ups-Electronic waste-Electronic waste workers-KWCI (GPI)-One person-Toxic waste-Toxics (campaign title)Shoot:Toxics Documentation on e-Waste in ChinaMuch of modern electronic equipment contains toxic ingredients and as much as 4,000 tonnes of toxic e-waste is discarded every hour.
