The real problem with electronics waste, or e-waste, lies in the use of toxic heavy materials such as mercury, cadmium, beryllium, and lead, along with PVC plastic and hazardous chemical like brominated flame retardants
(BFR) that are included in electronics components. When dumped in Landfills, these toxic components leach into the land over time and are released into the atmosphere. Burning computer components also releases these toxic components into the atmosphere, with deadly results to the people doing the burning in the short term, and a gradual eroding of the global environment in the long term.
