What happens to E-Waste?

This an Greenpeace video (http://www.greenpeace.org) I found in Youtube.

India has become a hub for recycling of electronic item. Electronic items such as Computer mother, copper wires are recycled in order to produce metals such as copper and even gold.

The recycling are done in haphazard way, with no regard to the safety and health of the workers, or the environment.

Greenpeace is also accusing the western nation (specially the USA) for dumping its waste in third world countries, violating international regulations (the Basel Convention) No wonder the Americans are skeptical and even denying the fact about Global warming!
