What’s the specific harm that you are worried about?
Mostly leachate. The 11th generation Kindle weighs 158 grams, £8 reader with 30 g polymer: 100 M units, assuming a 1 % annual leach rate, that is 3t of bromine and phosphate compounds per year entering groundwater, that is actually close to the total UK industrial discharge of the same chemicals. Then there are the heavy metal ions.
