E- waste threatens ecology and health
The electronic waste generated due to discarded computers, mobile phones and other gadgets is all set to take a heavy toll on human health and the environment in India unless immediate steps are taken to collect and recycle this waste.
By 2020, e-waste from old computers will have jumped by 500 per cent from 2007 levels in the country, a UN report released on Monday has warned.
The waste from old television sets and discarded refrigerators will double or triple during this period, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) stated in the report "Recycling — from E-Waste to Resources". The waste from mobile phones would rise 18 times by 2020.
Most e-waste in the country is improperly handled, much of it incinerated by backyard recyclers to recover valuable metals like gold. This type of recycling in the informal sector releases steady plumes of far-reaching toxic pollution and yield very low metal recovery rates compared to well equipped industrial recycling facilities.
Currently, India generates over 100,000 tons of waste from refrigerators, 2,75,000 tons from TVs, 56,300 tons from personal computers, 4,700 tons from printers and 1,700 tons from mobile phones. This data does not include waste imports, both legal and illegal, which are substantial in volume.
"India, Brazil, Mexico and others may also face rising By Mail Today Bureau in New Delhi environmental damage and health problems if e- waste recycling is left to the vagaries of the informal sector," said UN under-secretary general Achim Steiner, also the executive director of the UNEP. Sales of electronic products in countries such as China and India are set to rise sharply in the next 10 years. Unless action is stepped up to properly collect and recycle materials, these countries face the spectre of hazardous e- waste mountains with serious consequences for the environment and public health, the report said. The e-waste would include old and dilapidated desk and laptop computers, printers, mobile phones, pagers, digital photo and music devices, refrigerators, toys and televisions.
Manufacturing mobile phones and personal computers consumes 3 per cent of the gold and silver mined worldwide each year, 13 per cent of palladium and 15 per cent of cobalt. Modern electronics contain up to 60 different elements — many valuable, some hazardous, and some both. Globally, more than 1 billion mobile phones were sold in 2007, up from 896 million in 2006.
The global e- waste generation is growing by about 40 million tons a year.
In addition to curbing health problems, proper recycling can boost employment, cut greenhouse gas emissions and recover a wide range of valuable metals including silver, gold, palladium, copper and indium, the report said.
RISK FACTOR
Global e- waste up 40mn tons a year
E-waste contains lead, mercury, cadmium, and polybrominated flame retardants. These are persistent, bio-accumulative toxins (PBTs) and create eco and health risks when computers are recycled
Incineration of e-wastes leads to release of mercury vapour, while burning of PVC plastic releases highly toxic dioxins and Furans
Released gases, acid solutions, toxic smoke and contaminated ashes endanger health of workers in backyard recycling
PBTs can enter food chain when released in ecosystem

Earth in the Beginning
The early Earth was a vision of hell, all scalding rock and choking fumes. Since then, its surface has cooled, continents have drifted, mountains have risen and eroded, and life has emerged, benign and green. Nearly all traces of the planet as it was have been wiped away. But from clues in the oldest rocks, deepest magmas, and even the cratered face of the moon, scientists have traced the planet's beginnings.
As those early days have come into focus, so have the rare scenes, found today in some of Earth's harshest places, that recall its ancient self.
Its birth pangs began some 4.6 billion years ago as rock and ice particles swirling around the young sun collided and merged, snowballing to produce ever larger planetary building blocks. In violent pileups, they smashed together to create planets, including the infant Earth. In the turmoil, another body, as big as Mars, struck our planet with the energy of trillions of atomic bombs, enough to melt it all the way through.
Most of the impactor was swallowed up in the bottomless magma ocean it created. But the collision also flung a small world's worth of vaporized rock into orbit. Debris quickly gathered itself into a ball, and since then Earth history has unfolded beneath the blank stare of the moon.
After the moon's fiery birth, the Earth's surface cooled. Even so, our planet remained an alien world for the next 700 million years; scientists call this time the Hadean, after the Greek underworld. Rafts of solid rock drifted in the magma like dark ice floes.
Gases hissed from the cooling rock—carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapor, and others-enveloping the planet in a scalding atmosphere devoid of oxygen. As the temperature dropped further, the steam condensed into rain that tell in primordial monsoons and filled the ocean basins.
These first oceans may have been short-lived. Space rubble left over from the birth of the planets-chunks of rock tens to hundreds of miles across-bombarded Earth throughout the Hadean. The greatest impacts might have boiled the oceans away, forcing the process of cooling and condensation to begin again.
By 3.8 billion years ago the impacts relented. Liquid water could persist. About that time, perhaps in the oceans, lifeless chemical reactions crossed a threshold, producing molecules complex enough to reproduce themselves and evolve toward greater complexity. Life was on a road that led, as early as 3.5 billion years ago, to single-celled, blue-green cyanobacteria that flourished in the sunlit parts of the oceans.
By the trillions, these microscopic organisms transformed the planet. They captured the energy of the sun to make food, releasing oxygen as a waste product. Little by little they turned the atmosphere into breathable air, opening the way to the diversity of life that followed.
Those days are long gone, but the processes that turned our planet from a hell to a habitable world are still on view today. Primordial heat left over from the planet's formation still bursts out in volcanic eruptions, spilling lava that exudes gases like the young, cooling Earth.
In the planet's harshest environments today, cyanobacteria reign as they have for billions of years. And each time a plant gains a toehold on newly cooled lava, the victory of life over lifeless rock—won so long ago on the young Earth-is affirmed again.

You can soon buy a smart card for travel across cities
Some months from now, you will be able to travel on a variety of modes of public transport - buses, local trains, the Metro - in select cities, using just one smart card. The common mobility card, called the 'One India Card', that the urban development ministry is currently working on, will be introduced first in Delhi on a pilot basis, shortly before the Commonwealth Games start in October. It will then be extended to Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chandigarh.
With a single card - and without buying any ticket - a commuter will be access trains and buses in all these cities once transport operators modernise their fleet to make them compatible for use with smart cards. "It will be a multipurpose card, valid for all operators - government as well as private - and on all modes of local travel. It can be extended to taxis too at a later stage. In time, it will be possible to buy inter-city travel tickets and utility items as well using the card," said M. Ramachandran, urban development secretary.
The funding will be shared by central government under its flagship Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission and by the respective transport operators in the concerned cities.
