چکیده
Fast urbanization and serpentine uses of electronic gadgets during the last two decades has led to genesis of a whopper character of electronic wastes resulting in soil, water and environmental pollutions. Thus pollution administer along with environmental safety has become the greatest worry of environmental scientists and activists worldwide.
