E-wastes consist of discard of electronic appliances such as computers, mobiles and telephones. Major producers of e-wastes are USA, China, Europe and Australia and the total estimate of these products is about 25 million tonnes per year. These countries are forced to adopt the ―reuse‖ procedure to save environment and money flow. However certain e-wastes are having their self-life, which cannot be reuse. Hence, it is essential to recycle or disposal of these with suitable precautions. Uncontrolled disposal and recycling activities generate and release high toxic metals such as Hg, Pb, Cd, Cr, Cr(IV), Co, Cu, Ni, and Zn. These also release high concentrations of different types of flame retardants such as Poly Brominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), Poly-Chlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Organo -Chlorine Pesticides (OCPs). In this current research paper, potential environmental health consequences of these toxic metals and organo compounds are described. This article mainly focuses on overview of India‘s current e-waste scenario and their problems in recycling and disposal of e-waste. The tools for e-waste management like life cycle assessment (LCA), material flow analysis (MFA) have been developed to manage e wastes especially in developed countries. By developing eco-design devices and collecting e-waste and safe handling the disposal brings clean environment. There is no exact tool to solve this issue.
