Is mercury still found in modern e-waste? I need an authoritative reference, please. I did try to research it on my own, but got conflicting information.

The usage of mercury in electronics devices that end up producing e-waste is small but present in some components.
Though not widely used now, cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors contain mercury as do some button batteries, liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors and screens and some printed circuit boards and switches.
