E-WASTE is a growing problem for not only the world and animals but the people who are close to it too. They work for as little $1.50 a day. It has been shown that DNA changes can happen from being exposed to toxic chemicals with little to no protection (http://www.environmentalhealthnews.org/ehs/newscience/e-waste-chemicals-change-workers-dna). Something that is also sad for many people is that most of those workers range from 4 to 70 years old, on average some can be over or less that average.
I am using a video from "The Times of India", the official Youtube channel of the most selling English newspaper in the world. Go subscribe to them.
