Boy with Burnt Copper in Ghana
Boy taking burnt copper wiring from a fire. Electrical cables are burned in order to melt off the plastic and reclaim the copper wiring. This burning in small fires releases toxic chemicals into the environment.
The majority of second-hand electrical goods that are imported to Ghana from developed countries are beyond repair and are either dumped or "recycled" in this crude fashion.
