Best answer
E-waste is the electronic waste such as discarded old electronic appliances that include computers, TVs, refrigerators, cell phones, batteries and so on. Though earlier, much of the e-waste was manufactured in cities, currently, even smaller towns and villages are contributing to it. Meanwhile, e-wastes are harmful and polluting. It consists of dangerous products like lead, mercury, plastics and more, which are not just non-biodegradable but are also the cause for many life threatening diseases like Cancer. Throwing away e-waste to water is also a threat to sea-life.
