As you can see in the Greenpeace video above, there is little concern for health and safety and children as young as 5 are being subjected to inhaling harmful toxins released by the burning of Ewaste. They may be recycling the Ewaste, but at what cost to health and the environment? THe CSE press release is an interesting read, and we will try and find out more for you. Thank you for your enquiry.

We've also just posted a Greenpeace video documentary into the article that sheds more light on ewaste recycling in Delhi.

It is called "Of Poverty and Plastic." I've written a review and interviewed the author, and I think it should be read widely.
