Well....am not so good in GP but i'll try to help. I'll give you a small plan. Just find the answersto my question and the essay will be over :P

Intro : What do you understand by e-wastes?

1. Usually contain toxic materials.  Effects on human beings as well? Solution : recycle

2. How does it lead to environmental pollution? Leaching can lead to contamination of the soil which becomes unfit for agriculture.

3. Contaminate groundwater which is then consumed by humans. Describe how?

Try to get some info from here :

Hope it helps :)

Thanks a lot.. :)
That link you sent me will definitely be of great help.

I'm still a bit confused with the title because I don't know if writing about solutions for e-waste managements will make me go off topic because the essay is about the impact of e-wastes on the environment..so am a bit unsure about what to write.

Actually i wanted to write 3 paragraphs on effects of e-wastes on 1) aquatic systems and water 2) air 3) soil then in the conclusion i would have done a summary of the ideas mentioned.
Do you think this format is good?

You welcome :)

Yeah.......if you elaborate too much on the solution you may actually go irrelevant. However it will not harm to just mention the solutions to the elaborated problem.

Hmm........try to diversify more if possible. Three paragraphs implies only 3 ideas which will not be sufficient to satisfy the examinators. Short but fewer paragraphs will mean more ideas covered and this is much appreciated by them.
Example : Aquatic systems and water can be further divided, that is you may write one paragraph on the impact on marine life and another paragraph on underground water(which is used by human beings for domestic purposes).

Also include visual pollution for another idea.
Soil can be further divided into agriculture(the crops and how they are affected......yield decreases) and also another paragraph on fertility of soil.

The ideas may seem to be related but when you critically analyse the ideas, you'll note the differences.

Your format is good on the whole..........you just need to improve the content :)
