| Electronic Trash Village - China |
 |
September 2007
Every year, 35 million tonnes of electronic waste
is exported to China to be scrapped. There the
rubbish is broken down by hand, poisoning workers
and polluting the environment. "Smoke from the
computers is too strong to breathe", complains one
disposal worker. "I feel dizzy and can't see any
more". Many employees at the electronic disposal
plant suffer from respiratory illness or skin
diseases. They work for ten hours a day, with no
protection from the hazardous chemicals.
