Damage to the Atmosphere
After it’s contaminated the soil, toxins can eventually make their way into nearby water. Marine biologist and chief editor at Water-Pollution Casper Ohm says “The issue with electronics is that they contain toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury, all of which are bad for the environment. The way they end up in the water supply is through a process called bioleaching, where the metals gradually leach out of where they were disposed, leaking into neighboring environments. When organisms consume this metal, it’s stored in trace amounts, accumulating over time, and then passed up the food chain.”
