Copper

E-waste in Northern India

In northern India, Sanjay and his brother extract the copper from electronic waste in backyard acid baths. Toxic and illegal, the work provides a livelihood for many young men who have drifted from the countryside to the city. E-waste is a rapidly growing health and environmental hazard in many parts of the developing world.
