In the U.S., there is an estimated 175 million "junked, dead, or out-of-use" computer sets tucked in warehouses and residential basements and attics containing about 650 million pounds of lead, 987,000 pounds of cadmium, 231,000 pounds of mercury and more than 2 billion pounds of plastics. Last year, of the 24 million computers retired in the U.S., only 3.3 million were recycled. Some eventually make it to landfills. There, these components release toxic substances and mix with liquids that in some cases leach into soils and threaten ground water.  It is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of lead in municipal landfills comes from computers and other electronic equipment.  (MSNBC Environment Coverage. 14 Aug 2000)
