Why is the safe management of e-waste necessary?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To protect the environment and human health from hazardous substances

Direct answer: A is correct. E-waste means discarded electrical and electronic equipment, such as computers, phones, chargers, and other devices. Some electronic items can contain substances that are harmful if they are released into soil, water, or air. They may also contain useful materials such as metals that can be recovered through proper recycling. Safe management involves collecting e-waste separately, removing or protecting personal data when appropriate, sending it to authorised handlers, and using controlled dismantling and recycling processes. Option A is correct because these steps protect human health and the environment while recovering useful resources. Option B is wrong because destroying valuable metals wastes resources and is not the purpose of recycling. Option C is wrong because open burning can release harmful smoke and pollutants. Option D is wrong because mixing e-waste with ordinary household waste makes safe treatment difficult and may contaminate disposal sites. Memory cue: separate, secure, send for authorised recycling—never burn or casually dump e-waste.
