Ever-increasing volumes and toxicity of waste from these gadgets is of major concern. Publications for this study were identified from databases like PubMed, Elsevier, Google and scholar. The search was restricted to date of publication, humans and English as language of publication. This study reviews the issues identifying with the dangers of mobile phones and their waste on human well-being. This paper revealed that developing countries are characterised by absence of legislation, inappropriate infrastructure and lack of awareness about waste generated by the mobile phones.
