SYSTEMATIZATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF E-WASTE AND ITS HARMFUL EFFECTS ON HEALTH
Today, the waste of electrical and electronic equipment has created a number of global problems, and their solution is as urgent as other environmental problems. The article explores the issues related to the potential danger of e-waste to human health. For this, the data from a number of international normative documents and authoritative journals is collected, systematized and classified. The feasibility of classifying the waste according to the criterion “hazardous-safe” is substantiated. The main goal of the study is to identify the cause-effect relationship between hazardous waste and their harm. The elements and connections of electronic waste, the harmful environment they create, the relationship of pathological conditions related to human health (pp.68-74).
Keywords:Hazardous electronic waste, Hazardous substances, Harmful effects on health, Systematization and classification, Electronic equipment, Waste classification
