Pollution of waste batteries, why do waste batteries pollute the environment?

Can a waste battery self-destruct]!

Throwing away waste batteries will bring great harm to the environment]:

Relevant information shows that a No. 1 battery rotting in the ground can make 1 square meter of soil permanently lose its use value;A single coin cell battery can make 600 tons of water contaminated and undrinkable, which is equivalent to the amount of water a person drinks in a lifetime. Batteries contain mercury, lead, cadmium and other substances that pose a huge threat to the natural environment, if waste batteries are mixed with domestic garbage to landfill or discarded, the leached mercury and heavy metal substances will penetrate into the soil, pollute groundwater, and then enter fish and crops, destroy the living environment of human beings, and indirectly threaten human health.

Method] Waste batteries are not "wasted", which contain a large number of non-ferrous metals, and non-ferrous metals are non-renewable precious resources on the earth. The main products of battery production in China are zinc-manganese batteries and cadmium-nickel batteries. Judging from the current situation and development trend, batteries containing mercury and cadmium should be controlled by production and use.

For lead-containing batteries, the main treatment method used abroad is recycling. About 55% of the existing lead production abroad comes from recycled lead. In the lead industry, the recycling of waste lead-acid batteries accounts for a large proportion.

In daily use, we will also encounter a large number of alkaline manganese dry batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries and lithium-ion batteries, etc., for these batteries, in addition to the manganese in alkaline manganese batteries is toxic, the rest of the batteries such as silver, zinc, nickel, lithium, etc. are relatively valuable metals, have a high value. For example: mobile phones are an increasing number of communication tools used by modern people, and the consumption of lithium batteries in mobile phones is very large, and lithium batteries are relatively expensive, but if you can use lithium in the pool of waste lithium, then I think the lithium battery board will not fall.

Waste batteries are a great job to save energy.

Waste batteries contain a large amount of heavy metals and electrolyte solutions such as waste acid and waste alkali.

If a No. 1 battery rots in the ground, its toxic substances can make one square meter of land useless;Throwing a button battery into the water will cause 600,000 litres of water pollution, which is equivalent to the amount of water used in a person's lifetime. Waste batteries contain heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel, zinc, manganese, etc., among which cadmium, lead, and mercury are substances that are more harmful to the human body.

Mercury, commonly known as "mercury", can cause serious damage to the nervous system, and can lead to madness to death, such as the famous Japanese Minamata disease. Cadmium, which is nephrotoxic, causes irreversible kidney damage, and may be secondary to osteoporosis, osteomalacia and fractures after kidney injury;

Lead can inhibit the synthesis and metabolism of hemoglobin, and can also directly act on mature red blood cells, which is very toxic to infants and young children. Although metals such as nickel and zinc are beneficial substances within a certain concentration range, exceeding the limit in the environment will also cause harm to the human body.

At present, most of China's waste batteries are mixed with domestic garbage and are buried on the ground, over time, after transformation, the battery decays, and heavy metals are dissolved, which will not only affect the germination and growth of seeds, but also cause the pollution of rivers, rivers, lakes, seas and other water bodies, endanger the survival of aquatic organisms and the utilization of water resources, waste acid, waste alkali and other electrolyte solutions may pollute the land, make the land acidified and salinized, and finally enter the human biological chain through various ways, indirectly threatening human health. It's like a ticking time bomb planted around us. Therefore, the collection and disposal of waste batteries is very important, and if not properly disposed of, it may cause serious harm to the ecological environment and human health.

On November 9, 1939, a brain hospital in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, took in a man who was delirious. The man was only unexplained facial swelling at the beginning of the illness, but after 3 days, the swelling spread to his feet, and on the 8th day, he began to lose energy, talking to himself, crying constantly, and then developed into delirium, and people thought he was "crazy".

After being taken to the hospital, the man eventually died of heart failure in excruciating pain. Similarly, since then, 15 "madmen" with the same symptoms have appeared one after another in the population living in the same village as the deceased. This must be brought to the attention of medical researchers.

After an investigation and autopsy by the Kanagawa Prefectural Health Research Institute, it was concluded that these "madmen" all died of heavy metal poisoning.

After the incident, the Japanese authorities conducted a detailed investigation of the incident and found that the deceased had drunk water from three wells around the store before his death. Of those, 8 people who drank well No. 1 were all suffering from the disease.

While investigating this well, it was shocking that 380 rotting waste batteries were dug up within 5 meters of Well No. 1! After tracing the source, 380 waste batteries were buried in the backyard after the store** new batteries were finally found, causing pollution of the surrounding well water, leading to a tragedy.
