As someone who works in export/import business, here in India people make a lot of money importing Ewaste from foreign countries. Some villages in Delhi are filled with mountains of garbage brought from foreign countries, it's literally poisoning our under ground water, creating cancer but authorities don't do much about it. Stupidest things is, there are millionaires in India who live in the same place where this work takes place or atleast spend 5 hours a day at their factory and drinking same ground water maybe processed with RO but I am not sure how good is RO at removing heavy metal and other toxic contamination.
