Continuing Environmental Problems from Landfills and E-Waste in the Philippines | Continuing Environmental Problems from Landfills and E-Waste in the PhilippinesThe old Smokey Mountain may be gone but there's a new landfill just across it in the area called Pier 18. Slum dwellers frequent the place as scavengers of salvageable scraps of junk like plastic, glass, cardboard and e-waste (copper) so that they could sell them and earn some cash.~~ This sort of activity, however, causes several health hazards including tuberculosis and liver and kidney damage from chronic exposure to copper burning. In relation to the accumulation of e-waste in the Philippines which includes second-hand electronic products from Japan, the current administration is saying that it will review the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA).
