Abstract: Every year the electronics industry increases its production and earns billions of dollars. This increase is associated to the growth electronic waste production that, unfortunately, is not followed by the proportional recycling increase. An extensive quantity of e-waste containing several toxic chemical residues, that provoke serious toxic effects for human health, is released in the environment every day. This work it is a mini review about the issue of electronic waste production and its chemical contamination capacity for soil, water, plants, animals, food, and humans. Finally, this mini-review finalize with a small reflection about e-waste in Covid-19's Pandemic times.
