"As rain and snow fall on landfills, water seeps through waste, including dumped electronics, and picks up pollutants, forming what’s known as landfill leachate. This can contain heavy metals used in old computers and other gadgets and impact everything they come into contact with, from soil, our groundwater, oceans and rivers, and wildlife. Heavy metal exposure can affect some animals’ growth, body condition, and immune system, making them more susceptible to disease."
