Component  Effects (Human being –  Is included in these 

environment)  electronics 
Mercury   The  inhalation  of  mercury  prorogue  Lighting devices,illuminated the 
heavy  problems  in  the  nervous  display, olders computers , olders 
system  digest  system  and  immune  batteries  
system, also affect the environment. 
  
PVC  The  production  of  PVC  provoque  Insulation on wires, cables  
chlorinated,  dioxins,  and  furans,  that 
are very dangerous for nature. 
 
Lead   In  the  human  being,  what  is  most  Electrical solder primarily on 
affected  is  the  nervous  and  printed circuit boards , cathode 
sanguineous  system,  workers  who  ray tubes, glass to join the 
handle these substances, end up with  faceplate, PVC production  
strong  respiratory  problems.  It  also 
affects the kidneys, reproduction and 
even the food chain. 
 
Beryllium   In  the  refinement  of  beryllium,  smoke  Corrosión inhibitor, hardening, 
when  inhaled  produces  CBD  corrosion protection in metal 
(disease).  It  affects  the  people  who  housings 
recycle  those devices. Beryllium has a 
great  risk  for  the  lungs,  causing 
chest  pain,  coughing  and 
arrhythmias.  In  cases  you  can  get  to 
die.  Skin  contact  can  also  cause 
dermatitis. It also causes cancer. 
 
Chromium  The waste of insertion goes to the  Corrosión inhibitor, hardening, 
atmosphere generating fly ash, which  corrosion protection in metal 
affects the liver, kidney and lungs. It  housings 
produces allergies in the skin and 
even affects the animals, by means of 
the ignalacion of these residues. 
 
Cadmium  It is very toxic for humans, plants and  Contacts, switches, laptop 
animals, in the recycling process, the  computers, batteries, pvs 
inhalation of this product causes  formulation, CRTs, used in the 
dissensions. causes bone problems,  interior of the screen of electronics  
causes hypertension, respiratory 
syndrome, tracheobronchitis, heart 
disease and lung cancer. 
 
Organotins  The decomposition of the products  Antifouling paints, ships, boats 
affects the marine life when arriving 
at the sea, mainly to the fish, seals, 
whales and dolphins. it even causes 
problems in the immune system, 
blood, brain and poor memory, 
causes seizures loss of hearing and 
death. 
BFRs  Affect the environment. It  Prevend combustión, printed 
contaminated the indoor air. It affect  circuit use by industries  
the marine life,. Neurological effects, 
memory funtions get affected. Have 
some effects on rats. 
Phthalates  The decomposition of it is very  Marketed, used as discret 
difficult and late a lot of time. It also  chemicals products. 
contaminated the air. The phthalates 
also go in the body this is cause 
because the air is so contaminated 
or by the food because now days 
until the food get contaminated. This 
chemical affects the reproductive 
system. Affect the immune function. 
The liver and kidney get also 
affected. Some rats born strange 
because this chemicals. produce 
respiratory problems like asthma on 
the kid. Produce allergic symptoms.
