Electrical and electronic waste is one of the categories of waste that is divided into ten classes. Classes of e-waste contain valuable, and in some components dangerous chemical substances that are carcinogenic, cause various diseases and pollution if they are not disposed of properly. The purpose of proper disposal is to provide "clean" waste for manual or mechanical treatment and then recycling.
E-waste according to the classification belongs to hazardous waste and contains many harmful substances for human health and the environment, such as: mercury, cadmium, chromium, bromine, lead, arsenic, asbestos, silicon, beryllium, phosphorus, etc. Given that electrical and electronic devices are increasingly used, these chemical elements and compounds very often come into contact with humans, and cause various types of diseases.
