The Dangers of Lead Air Pollution
Lead which is a part of scrap batteries is highly toxic and can cause severe nerve damage and impair physical and mental development, especially in children. Lead also enters the atmosphere from coal, oil, iron and steel production; lead smelters; battery production; solid waste; and tobacco smoke.
Lead is one of six air pollutants the EPA is required to review every five years to make sure the health standards are tough enough to protect the public. The other air pollutants are ozone, soot, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides.
So if you want to save yourselves and your environment from this problem then go for battery recycling, you won’t get any better option than recycling batteries.
