摘要

鉴于产生的电子垃圾的数量以及其中有毒和有价值的材料的含量，电子垃圾是一个日益严重的问题。这种新型废物在世界各地引起了对其处理和回收的严重关注。由于电视和电脑显示器中含有有害成分(铅、汞和镉)，电路板中含有有害成分(镍、铍和锌)，电子垃圾的回收和丢弃成为一个关键问题。电子废物的处理对环境和健康造成严重危害。然而，这些问题可以在循环方法的帮助下解决。在此背景下，本章讨论了印度的电子废物管理问题，以及电子废物处理和处置中的相关环境和健康问题。它还讨论了印度的电子废物回收实践以及政府当前的政策层面干预措施。本章还强调了循环电子废物管理方法可能提供的商业机会。

E-Waste Management in India

E-waste is a rising problem given the volumes of e-waste being generated and the content of both toxic and valuable materials in them. This new kind of waste has raised serious concerns regarding their disposition and recycling all over the world. Having hazardous components in television and computer monitors (lead, mercury, and cadmium) and in circuit boards (nickel, beryllium, and zinc), the recycling and discarding of e-waste becomes a key concern. Disposal of e-waste poses serious environmental and health hazards. However, these problems can be tackled with the help of a circular approach. In this backdrop, the chapter discusses the problem of e-waste management in India, the related environmental and health issues in e-waste handling and disposal. It also discusses e-waste recycling practices in India and the current policy level interventions by the government. The chapter also highlights the possible business opportunities offered by the circular approach to e-waste management.
