Abstract

The mobile phone has become an important part of our life today. Nowadays, children to the elderly have become dependent on this technology. In such a situation, it has some positive uses as well as negative effects, which are directly and indirectly affect the environment and the social life of the people. Anxieties have been elevated with regards to the sustainability concerning cellular handsets and their impact on people’s health and environment.
