“DUMPING IN RIVERS”

mercury etc in those goods.

oCadmiumoHexavalent chromium

oOther hazardous materials

NOTE: Maximum contribution of these materials should be only 0.1% by weight.

“What’s the stuff in those e-wastes”…?

….and left for local children to “EXPLORE”..

CONTROL OF ELECTRICAL WASTE• Install CFL and LED bulbs• Unplug cell phone chargers when finished– Many devices still drain electricity when plugged in

• Install motion detector light switches– Great for classrooms, hallways, offices

• Use task-specific lighting as needed– Use lamps instead of overhead lights for entire area
