By June 12 2009, television broadcasters will switch from analog to digital-only signals as mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). While consumers stand to benefit from the improved picture and sound quality of digital television (DTV), tens of million of televisions will be rendered obsolete by the switchover. This potential onslaught of toxic e-waste as people discard their old sets poses a serious threat to public health and the environment.
