Abstract
This chapter delves into the global e-waste challenge, emphasizing health risks and equity issues. Positioned within the book's theme, it justifies the relevance of IoT-driven solutions for addressing e-waste's social impacts. The discussion navigates through health risks and disparities in developing nations. IoT-enabled e-waste monitoring is explored, detailing how sensors create real-time databases for precise tracking. Analysis of IoT data assesses health risks, identifies contamination hotspots, and facilitates equitable resource allocation. The chapter highlights IoT's role in tailored awareness campaigns, particularly for underserved populations, and underscores its impact on policy development and enforcement. The conclusion summarizes vital insights, emphasizing the imperative of awareness, regulation, responsible recycling, and global collaboration in tackling e-waste's societal repercussions. This chapter serves as a crucial resource for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers engaged in the effective management of e-waste's social consequences.
