improper recycling of hazardous elements
If this product is improperly handled, broken or damaged or carelessly recycled or
disposed off in the fire, can result in environmental and data security concerns,
including the following:
¾ Affect nearly every system in the human body and result in birth
defects, brain, heart, liver, kidney and skeletal system damage. They
will also significantly affect the nervous and reproductive systems of
the human body;
¾ When burned, create cancer-producing dioxins which are released
into the air we breathe; If thrown in landfills, may leach into
groundwater affecting your local community;
¾ In warm climates, the oxidation of mercury in the environment can
be accelerated, leading to the creation of oxidized Hg atoms that
are known to be associated with ozone depletion; and Improper
recycling additionally results in data security issues, as private
electronic information remains on hard drive, if not properly
removed before disposal.
