Surface water contamination occurs when waste substances get disposed of or transported through water bodies. They either dissolve in them or mix with either the water, or the sediment causing eutrophication and extinction of species. Water pollution in general is considered the main cause of pandemic spread of diseases.

Electrical and Electronic Equipment are full of dangerous pollutants and it is the responsibility of every individual and organisation to contact companies like Secure Data Recycling to ensure these dangerous chemicals DO NOT end up in landfill.
