There are reports that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computer to China. Such a thing can be found every day though it’s against international laws. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan. Things like this are called e-waste. Dealing with them isn’t an easy job because dangerous poisons like mercury(汞) and lead(铅) can be found in them. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs dealing with safely. But at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds years before they are really gone in the soil.

Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan, But many of the poisons find their way into the environment. Greenpeace, an environmental group, has found the air, the earth and rivers in Guiyu badly polluted. This year, China presents a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. This is because the companies that make computers know best how to deal with them safely. Hopefully, the problem with e–waste will be solved in the near future.
