Specifically read a few articles on this practice also known as e waste dismantlement. E waste are the leftover products of dismantling technology with no protection or safe disposable methods.
Notoriously; engine oil, ink jet primer, toxic fumes built up inside electronics and various other toxins are so potent that they cause many horrific conditions such as toxin poisoning, some forms of cancer, and generally poison any natural material in comes into contact with resulting in the junkyards and streams adjacent to them becoming hotspots for future waterway poisoning.
Star wars ahh job
Okay kids let's play find the shiny!
They are employed and productive , honest .. this is better than them having no opportunity at all .
Not sure if this voice over is AI generated or an actual person. Either way they would like they’re on the verge of crying
That’s how radiation got released in Mexico a hospital abandoned a chemotherapy machine and scrappers tried scrapping the wrong thing and contaminated a whole community
Bro da chancla always survive
That's how I made money when I was a kid. $0.68 for a pound of copper. We put the wire in a fire to remove the insulation.
They do it not because there is treasure there but because their economy is utter garbage and there are no better jobs available.
Same people living in America
Love how they are breaking open refrigerant compressors. It's illegal if they still have refrigerant in them as it is a EPA violation and a big fine in the USA because it's bad for the ozone layer and they get to do it without any environmental agency around.
It'd not really toxic if it's mostly old compute tech and car parts
This is how I lived in the US.
Safety equipment? These guys are wearing sandals
Europe should have never left her colonies
My dude got a fresh af haircut in there, this has to be higher paying than most jobs lmfao
Another example how is Middle/poor class are gonna be if we don't do something about financial inequality. There should definitely be a universal income that can only be spent on bills or food.
All liberals should watch this. You don’t like America? Go here.
It's all fun and games until somebody gets a abandoned radiotherapy machine
Copper in the U.S. (Hard Drawn, Dark, or Oxidized) is scrapping for about $3.24/lbs or $3.24/.5kg not bad if you can manage 100+ pounds
Futureranma "who wants to find the shiny"
There 100x more gold in the filaments in a phone than a chunk of gold ore. Got it.
Meanwhile American and British youth cry and complain about pronouns
The cybertruck owner is live happily ever after at home 🥰
Loving all the Yanks defending this 👍
There isn't that much gold in these things. The biggest quantity of metal is copper. Copper for the wires, copper for the printed circuit boads.
The only gold is on:
1. Gold plate on connectors
2. Gold plate on card edge connectors (and you see even less of those these days)
3. Gold bond wires inside integrated circuit chips
4. Gold pins on some types of integrated circuits
Reported for racism
They are probably healthier then any Americans talking About toxic conditions it's not that bad 😂
Whats worrying with copper scrapping is tearing down Microwave Ovens, I wonder how much these people got exposed to scratched Magnetron tips.
All for safer workplaces but how is my man’s job related to the temperature here? He’s probably going to be outside anyway, or in a non air conditioned building with no ventilation
Futurama episode
Bro stole my catalytic converter
Do these guys steal from each other when they do this
Why are they wearing sandals? Seems like boots would be more appropriate seeing how much sharp metal is around.🤔
This kind of stuff makes me feel so lucky. We need to help the lower income countries more
And Rich kids are entitled for their parents fortune 😢
I have seen people melt electronics down and the temperatures they heat them at separates out the precious metals. Constant reheating for the materials to seperate them off. Less work but more plastic pollution in the end….
You know it's good when they've got the safety sandles on
i do this for fun all the time, what harsh conditons are shown here and such that prompt that title?
It's actually baffling how 1st world countries are fighting for trans rights nonsense when there's children in countries like these that can't afford to have rights.
More gold in smartphones the actual gold ore math ain't mathing
Us sitting here watching these people do this, while using the devices that they mine these precious metals for. . .
Honestly does not seem like they have it so bad. Seems like good productive work.
Ah yes 1 ton of something that is 5% gold has much more gold than 1 ton of something made of 100% gold
"So this is maybe worth $3?" 💀💀
They do the world a great service.
