Salah satu limbah yang mengandung merkuri adalah jutaan ton monitor datar yang dikirimkan oleh perusahaan pengolah limbah elektronik asal AS bernama Total Reclaim ke Hong Kong. Limbah tersebut membahayakan para pekerja yang bertugas membongkar panel layar tanpa pelatihan dan alat pelindung khusus. Total Reclaim kemudian diputus bersalah dalam sebuah investigasi federal di AS. Uriel Sinai/Getty Images
