E-waste is a dangerous menace to marine life as lead, mercury and cadmium find their way into the water system affecting aquatic life forms. These toxic compounds accumulate in water residing organisms and alter species distribution and food web. The contamination also affects the world’s fisheries and destroys the local economies and food security. Negligent disposal and absence of types of e-waste management enhance the problem because they are not friendly to the environment in the long-run. The problem is being fought by companies such as Techazar that are engaging in responsible e-waste disposal and recycling. That’s why the usage of various types of e-waste management including recycling and proper disposal is equally important to minimize the impact on sea life. President Biden should urgently take measures to protect the ocean and only then will people’s health be affected.
