RECYCLING E-WASTE AND DEVELOPMENT OF BIOMEDICAL SEMICONDUCTOR

Abstract

E-waste (Electronic waste) is an electronic material which has completed its life span and has no worth. Growth
and innovations of Information and communication technology has been a major factor in deterioration of human health
and environment. These waste releases toxic chemicals and heavy metals which damages the environment and causes
pollution which results in irregular breathing pattern, inflammatory responses and oxidative stress level in humans. To
reduce these effects, E-Parisaraa (in India) a government organization took the initiative of covering the area of Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment in all the developing countries. These hazardous wastes can be recycled to develop
biodegradable semiconductors to reduce oxidative stress level and is biocompatible as well as bio inert biomaterial so that
if it is implanted in human it won’t affect human health. Oxidative stress and exploited cells are the elementary level for
the formation of cancer cells. In this paper we will represent the impacts of Electronic-waste on the well-being of human
and environment and will use recycling technologies to develop biodegradable semiconductor for reduction of oxidative
stress levels. Prototype is created using sensors, actuators and electrodes on Arduino platform.
