Abstract
Solid waste management, which is already a mammoth task in India, is becoming more complicated by the invasion of e-waste, particularly computer waste. The hazardous content of these e-waste materials pose a threat to human health and environment. This article highlights the hazards of e-wastes, the need for its appropriate management and options that can be implemented. Improper disposal of these e-wastes and other substances reach the soil and groundwater.
