Cutting edge contamination | Greenpeace USA: "The electronics industry is often considered a 'clean' industry. But sleek shiny gadgets hide a darker side of the industry. Our new report 'Cutting Edge Contamination' exposes that some of the electronics industries' biggest brands and their suppliers, are contaminating rivers and underground wells with a wide range of hazardous chemicals.
Most mobile phones, computers and other consumer electronics are now manufactured in developing countries like China, Mexico, Thailand and the Philippines. While labor practices at these production plants used by major manufactures has come under increasing focus, there has been little research into environmental impacts."

A indústria de brinquedinhos eletrônicos (celulares, computadores, acessórios) é considerada limpa, mas há pouca pesquisa sobre seu impacto no ambiente, e rios e águas subterrâneas de países como a China, o México, a Tailândia e as Filipinas podem estar sendo poluídas com produtos químicos venenosos.
