People are burning them by burning electronic waste, the toxic gases like carcenogenesis-dybenzano para dioxin (TCDD) and neurotoxins are produced. These gases affect the reproductive capacity, physical development and immune system in the human body. It also increases the chances of hormonal imbalance and cancer. In addition, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and chloro-fluoro carbon are also produced which are harmful to the atmosphere and ozone layer. Therefore, their management is very important so that increasing pollution can be prevented. Incharge of this event Prof Lekha Jindal said that in order to prevent e-waste pollution, we have to emphasize on recycling. Electronic waste such as monitor, picture tube, laptop, keyboard, telephone, hard drive, CD drive, fax machine, printer, CPU, modem cable etc can be recycled. The aim of this competition is to make students aware about this. We are happy that we have been able to give this information to the students for some extent.
