by Elizabeth Grossman
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
The Digital Age was expected to usher in an era of clean production, an alternative to smokestack industries and their pollutants.
But as environmental journalist Elizabeth Grossman reveals in this penetrating analysis of high tech manufacture and disposal, digital may be sleek, but it's anything but clean.
Deep within every electronic device lie toxic materials that make up the bits and bytes, a complex thicket of lead, mercury, cadmium, plastics, and a host of other often harmful ingredients.
High Tech Trash is a wake-up call to the importance of the e-waste issue and the health hazards involved.
