What is the status quo regarding e-waste effect on the countryside in VietNam? Why are industries discharging more and more e-waste? What e-waste items could industrial areas recycle? Why should electronic components be handled properly and prevented from going into landfill? Why is it Important to recycle e-waste? What happens to the e-waste if not recycled through proper channels? What are the electronic manufacturer recycling programs? How the industries ensure their e-waste is disposed of properly and securely? Page of 56 II LITERATURE REVIEW Review “What is the environmental effect of the e-waste on the countryside in the northern region if they are handled improperly and lack of concern from residents and even authorities?” In General E-waste refers to electronic items that have reached the end of their useful life Depending on their state and density, e-waste goods include dangerous elements to humans The toxic nature of these compounds endangers both human health and the environment Electronic garbage is being produced in large quantities in India, owing to the country's rise as an IT powerhouse and the modernisation of its culture (A Patil & M Sharma, 2015) If not properly disposed of, refrigerators, cell phones, abandoned laptops, mobile phones, and batteries, among other items, can leak lead and other toxins into the soil and subterranean water Vietnam currently lacks official statistics on the quantity of e-waste generated each year According to UNU estimates, Vietnam generates around 115,000 tons of e-waste per year, at a rate of 1.34 kgs per person With the current pace of generation, the predicted quantity of e-waste generated in 2024 is over 190,000 tons This region has one of the lowest per capita e-waste creation rates Vietnam has seen tremendous growth and development as a result of political stability, including an increase in the consumption of durable goods Though the amount is still small, e-waste is an increasing waste stream as EEE ownership has climbed and usage duration has dropped (Le & Pham, 2020) E-waste has become one of the waste stream's fastest-rising wastes in recent decades, thanks to the rapid upgrading of electronic items In this context, increasing efforts and concerns have already been directed toward treating and managing this waste To limit their detrimental effects on the environment and society, effective e-waste management solutions must be implemented (Doan et al., 2019,) Review the impact of E-waste on human beings in the past and current now (how it changed the way we live, what is the trend, and pros and cons…) Page of 56 General Effects: In the past few years, according to Mr Nguyen Trung, about 8,803 tons of e-waste were generated in 2006, but the Vietnam Environment Administration (VEA) estimates that over 12,000 tons of e-waste are produced per year This includes the illicit importation of e-waste from other nations The disparity in real trash amounts is due to a lack of official records, inadequate monitoring of imported and locally created garbage, and unaccounted potential waste sources According to a survey by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (INEST), Hanoi University of Science and Technology, the amount of wasted television in Vietnam might reach 250,000 tons by 2025 E-waste in Vietnam grows by roughly 100,000 tons per year, primarily from households (electronic appliances), offices (computers, photocopiers, fax machines, ), and illegally imported faulty electronic equipment and waste devices In May 2015, Vietnam took the initial steps towards implementing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Prime Ministerial Decision No 16 requires that abandoned items such as personal computers, laptops, mobile phones, and significant household appliances like TVs, fridges, air conditioners, and washing machines be returned and recycled beginning in July 2016 It holds manufacturers accountable for establishing collection, take-back, and sound recycling systems based on EPR Nonetheless, illicit ewaste imports and damage to the environment and human health informal recycling practices persist According to INEST, the volume of e-waste in Vietnam is steadily growing as product demand rises In 2012, information and communications technology (ICT) hardware sales increased by 103% to $23 billion, accounting for 94% of overall IT income in the country Although the growth rates of discarded e-waste are expected to slow (7.7% for TVs, 9.7% for refrigerators, 11.7% for washing machines, 21% for air conditioners, and 13.7% for computers between 2011 and 2020), "the high growth of ICT sales and discarded products have made Vietnam a potential WEEE recycling market," said Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Bui Cach Tuyen (INEST, 2014) Page of 56 It is expected that by 2023, Hanoi would have abandoned around 185,000 TVs, 102,000 PCs, 188,000 refrigerators, 146,000 washing machines, and 107,000 air conditioners Meanwhile, 710,000 TVs, 294,000 PCs, 428,000 refrigerators, 349,000 washing machines, and 336,000 air conditioners will be discarded in Ho Chi Minh City Environmental Effects: Rising levels of e-waste are a typical concern, which is especially acute in fast-growing economies The rising quantities are a reason for worry since they place additional strain on current trash collection and treatment infrastructure, leading to flows toward environmentally unsound recycling and disposal There is a lot of informal business and trade going on that doesn't have any oversight or regard for the environment The general public is unaware of the environmental damage caused by present methods as well as the value inherent in EEE As a result, the importation of this garbage requires special clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests As electronic garbage is collected and recycled, the government has implemented the following actions/steps in the country's informal sector to raise awareness regarding ecologically sound electronic waste management (Nguyen, 2020) Based on the report of Mr Nhu Trung, open burning is a prevalent treatment of e-waste in many artisan villages, used mostly by informal recyclers when they separate organic and inorganic chemicals (e.g., burning cables to recover copper), with negative acute and chronic consequences on human health and the environment Though less prevalent, incineration of e-waste processing wastes and spontaneous combustion at open dumping sites are also considered open burning and have the same negative consequences Spontaneous combustion can occur at open dumping sites when components, such as batteries, cause flames owing to short circuits In principle, open burning is the same as thermal treatment, whether in an industrial smelter or an incinerator, but the environmental and human health implications are vastly different This is because there is no harmful emission regulation in open burning, and the informal sector's open burning techniques are far less efficient at re-gaining Page of 56 resources Furthermore, open-burning leftovers are often disposed of at open dumping sites, resulting in further negative environmental and health consequences from chemicals leaking into the soil and groundwater As a result, Vietnam is in a transitional period, with a mix of official and informal sectors in an emerging ecosystem in terms of collecting and recycling infrastructure It has a robust repair and refurbishing sector, but the country currently lacks the technological capacity to process e-waste on a broad scale While the VEA has licensed over 100 facilities in Vietnam to collect and handle hazardous waste, only 15 of them have the necessary technology to disassemble and recycle e-waste (around 2.5 tonnes per day) In some agricultural provinces such as Hung Yen, the total amount of e-waste dismantled has ranged from to 10 tons every day (depending on the buyers) On average, the production capacity of e-waste dismantling and sorting is 40-50 tons per month Health Effects: Informal recycling is an issue in most developing Asian nations, with a significant and thriving business of undertaking unlicensed and often illegal recycling techniques from the backyard These recycling techniques are not only harmful to recyclers, their communities, and the environment, but they are also inefficient since they not extract the full value of the processed materials (Nguyen, 2020) In the informal sector, open burning and acid bath recycling have substantial detrimental effects on the occupational health of processors Some formal facilities also lack suitable technology and standards, exposing both employees and lay people to hazardous chemicals, either directly or indirectly, with consequences for human and environmental health, as well as social and economic implications for worker families and communities In the absence of protective items such as gloves, glasses, masks, and so on, inhalation of and exposure to dangerous chemicals and substances directly impacts employees' health Page of 56 There have been reports of links between inappropriate e-waste management and altered thyroid function, lower lung function, bad birth outcomes, reduced childhood growth, negative mental health outcomes, impaired cognitive development, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity Indirect exposure to these dangerous compounds is also a source of numerous health problems, notably for families of informal recyclers who frequently live and work in the same region, as well as populations living in and near informal recycling facilities In 2013, 23 epidemiological studies from 1650 records published between January 1, 1965, and December 17, 2012, were examined for adverse health effects connected with e-waste exposure 17 Following PRISMA principles, this Review updated evidence of the link between e-waste exposure and negative human health impacts(A Patil & M Sharma, 2015) Identify My Topic In The Wider Context This research is based on a wide range of published publications, reports from several initiatives, and reports from cleaner production assessments at businesses The information sources were primarily from earlier research investigations by researchers Stefan Petrus Salmhofer - a researcher at the Department of W.A.E believes that Ewaste management in Vietnam presents significant obstacles, including a lack of particular e-waste legislation, a major engagement of "craft villages," and a lack of monitoring data Many factors (e.g., pollution level, produced trash, and the health of employees and residents living near recycling facilities) contribute to limiting access to these artisan communities As a result, there is no complete picture of e-waste management in Vietnam accessible today He performed expert interviews (from INEST, local authorities and other experts in metal processing industries) and proved that Ewaste in Vietnam is created by the disposal of EEE, the importation of old EEE and ewaste, and industrial activities at electronic enterprises EEE for residential purposes are discarded as they reach the end of their useful life Imported e-waste and used EEE are Page 10 of 56 residents of the Viet Nam region behave when it comes to e-waste and used e-device They keep them at home or rarely dispose of used e-devices because they might be sold or upgraded in the future, have their appliances repaired, upgraded, or refurbished and prefer to buy used or secondhand e-devices As a result, the market for used edevices is developing and unavoidable Another significant point, when looking at the responses to this survey question: The biggest number of respondents(32.3%) ‘don’t know why they still are approved, and observing in observation stage 3, strengthens my hypothesis that the the little attention from authorities about informal recycling also partly implicitly leads to increasing the effect of e-waste When observing observation stage 3, I realize that while the responsibility of limiting e-waste was frequently told between the community, the waste incinerator still caught fire at night and the people still had to live with toxic smoke This is done mostly by unregulated recyclers who separate organic and inorganic materials (for example, burning cables to recover copper), with detrimental short- and long-term impacts on human health and the environment Despite being less frequent, spontaneous combustion at open dumping sites and cremation of e-waste processing wastes are also considered forms of open burning and have similar negative impacts According to (Natsuyo U & Suzuki Go, 2018), they research on the poison metal that could affect health and they found that Hazardous metal pollution may spread by particles generated in e-waste-processing and become somewhat randomly mixed into soils and sediments At the same time, pollution may Page 42 of 56 remain in place because pollution did not exist in soluble forms such as metal ions Hazardous metal concentrations generally increased during the study period, although the differences in the metal concentrations between sampling periods were not significant These results indicated that e-waste processing in an open-air environment should be controlled by local authorities to avoid emissions of hazardous metals and that open burning should be prohibited In this study, they looked at the buildup of dangerous metals brought on by e-waste processing operations The elution properties, mobility, and bioavailability of dangerous metals, as well as the assessment of migration paths from e-waste to the environment and organisms, are still unanswered questions that require further research These details need to be crucial in determining the health hazards to residents and employees They also don’t know why local authorities in some regions still not concern about this issue Consequensely, although the finding of this research is clear that local authorities are lack of concern about the informal recycling activity, this still raises the question that why the local authorities don’t have any action on this one although it happening for many years V LIMITATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FUTURE FOR MY RESEARCH Limitations: The deadline of this research only for more than month weeks over the course of our one-month experiment I’m now beginning to understand how the e-waste as well as the informal recycling affects to the health and environment, although it is still difficult In order to monitor and assess changes in actual or hidden effect, I need more time for the deadline The study's flaws are those elements of the design or procedure that influenced or hampered comprehension of the findings There are limitations on the ability to generalize, apply to reality, and the efficacy of the findings that are the result of the original forms in which you choose to construct the analysis or the methodology used to evaluate the internal and external validity of the results of unexpected test challenges Page 43 of 56 Sampling errors happen when a probability sampling method is to gather data, but that sample does not accurately represent the target and is approached by spreading the survey mainly via social media This leads to "sample bias" or "selection bias," The issue of having little access to these responders has come up for my research I perform my research in light of this restricted access Money is a real problem Sometimes I need cash to buy the software required for a study, to pay personnel to gather the data, to buy a certain statistical program, or just to thank participants with gifts or prizes for taking part in the study All of these options are impaired in times with limited financial resources Improvements: ☺ Extending the research's scope: As I said in the previous part, the focus of my investigation is on people in the northern region Only people in the northern regions lack the objectivity necessary to assess how weight management apps affect users' self-monitoring behaviour In order to properly gather study data, we spread the project to additional southside and midsize places including Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Can Tho, Da Lat, Ca Mao, etc ☺ If the research can progress further, I would like to include other techniques like questionnaires and focus groups to collect data and have a holistic picture of the responses provided by people in more areas The output is rich and simple to examine and generate fresh ideas from ☺ Increasing the duration of the project's research More than month is not enough time for me to complete the project research If the project goes through, we will plan a or 4-month research phase The length of the research process has a significant impact on the quantity of research and the length of time required to explore more hidden aspects of the effects of e-waste ☺ Learn from other research Try to understand and gather the thesis in other research Although in this research I have learnt from so many different source, it’s quite not enough for the context of this topic I need to extend the scope of research and dive into other academic book or report to enhance my own research

title: The environmental implications of e-waste and ways to reduce it Section One: Title, objective, responsibilities Research question: What is the environmental effect of the e-waste on the countryside in northern region when they are handled improperly and lack of concern from residents and even authorities? Objectives I want to learn: What does e-waste mean? What happens if the e-waste from electronic manufactory is discharged directly to landfill? What is the status quo about e-waste effect on the countryside in VietNam? Why are industries discharging more and more e-waste? What e-waste items could industrial areas recycle?

What happens to the e-waste if not recycled through proper channels? What are the electronic manufacturer recycling programs? How the industries ensure their e-waste is disposed of properly and securely? Page 45 of 56 Section Two: Reasons for choosing this research project Reasons for choosing the project : According to UNU estimates, Vietnam generates around 115,000 tons of e-waste per year, at a rate of 1.34 kg per person Based on the current generation rate, the expected quantity of e-waste created in 2019 is around 130,000 tons Although numbers are currently modest, e-waste is an increasing waste stream as EEE ownership has climbed and usage duration has dropped Hence, this raises my interest in researching how they could be handled or the effect of them in Viet Nam Analysis of recycling structures for e-waste in Vietnam | SpringerLink Currently, e-waste from different resources in Viet Nam is mainly handled and recycled by craft villages in the countryside According to Mr Nhu Trung, there are roughly 90 such villages involved in trash recycling operations, particularly in northern Vietnam (61 villages), central Vietnam (25 villages), and southern Vietnam (5 villages) The majority of these craft villages are tiny, with scattered operations, manual and antiquated technology, and a lack of awareness of the health and environmental effects of their activities So, this is the reason why I want to research the effect of e-waste on the countryside Country Report on E-Waste of Viet Nam Because there are some kinds of popular reusing or recycling e-waste in Viet Nam such as the scalability of second-hand markets for electronics and Several e-waste recycling programs launched by large technology corporations(such as Dell, Samsung, etc ) Page 46 of 56 Therefore, I want to know whether it could improve the status quo of e-waste in Viet Nam or not I am somewhat pretty interested in researching the problem related to e-waste I am the kind of person who loves the natural environment (e.g links to other subjects you are studying, personal interest, future plans, knowledge/skills you want to improve, why the topic is important): Section Three: Literature sources searched The initial sources which could help me to answer those questions: Hazardous metals emissions from e-waste-processing sites in a village in northern Vietnam It shows the existence of dangerous compounds and the hazards of exposure to them and the current state of environmental emissions of these toxic substances from e-wasteprocessing plants Analysis of recycling structures for e-waste in Vietnam This one highlights the specific characteristics of e-waste management and treatment activities in Vietnam Country Report on E-Waste of Viet Nam This one provides in detail the facts and information about the e-waste situation in the country In addition, case study on the e-waste collection program of Vietnam Recycles also has been discussed in this one E-Waste: How the Ghosts of iPhones Past Haunt Vietnam's Low-Income Communities Saigoneer This one emphasizes the thesis in which the e-waste dilemma is a societal issue of environmental injustice that necessitates substantial debate on the relationship between economic imbalance and pollutant exposure in Viet Nam Page 47 of 56 Health consequences of exposure to e-waste: an updated systematic review -
