Abstract
The proliferation of electronic devices in today's digital age, while ushering in technological advancements, has given rise to a pressing global issue: the exponential accumulation of electronic waste (e-waste). Not only is this a grave environmental concern, but its ramifications also spill over into health and equity domains. Delving into the social dimensions of e-waste, this chapter seeks to spotlight the pressing health risks associated with improper e-waste management and the equity concerns inherent in its production, disposal, and recycling. Drawing from various studies, the chapter posits that addressing the e-waste conundrum requires a multi-pronged approach, emphasizing the importance of global collaboration, regulatory frameworks, public awareness, and technological interventions.
