How does a battery impact the environment?
Old batteries can be very harmful to the environment if people do not dispose of them properly. Batteries contain chemicals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury, which can pollute soil and water if we throw away the batteries in regular trash. These chemicals can leach into the ground and contaminate local water sources, leading to health risks for humans and animals.
When people do not recycle batteries, they also contribute to the depletion of finite natural resources. In addition, we dispose of batteries improperly, that can also give rise to greenhouse gases. When waste facilities incinerate them, which can contribute to climate change
Therefore, it is important to dispose of batteries in an environmentally responsible manner to minimize their impact on the environment and human health.
