Environmental and Information Safety of End-of-Life Electronics

Abstract

With the introduction and expansion of ICT, there has been an increase in e-waste and the environmental safety on e-waste. An empirical study was conducted in Benin City using a well-designed questionnaire distributed among university college students in higher education, telecommunication providers, civil servants, computer dealers, computer technicians, and e-waste collectors in order to suggest a framework for e-waste management and the environmental safety of these e-waste on the health of the people living in such area where they are found. Averages of four hundred respondents have been surveyed. The data was analyzed using SPSS, and the findings show that the human eye is inadequate for e-waste management and environmental safety tools. The findings also revealed a well-known horrible way of thinking closer to the safety of statistics in damaged systems, owing primarily to a lack of information and the inconveniences associated with it. To address this, a framework and a functional online net web site have improved, which are based on reputation and sensitization of e-waste management and environmental safety of e-waste disposal. This tool has been suggested as a proper e-waste management and environmental safety tool.
