Do not throw away used batteries

Some time ago, I heard that there was a place where people were inexplicably mad. For a time, people didn’t know what the reason was. They were skeptical. Later, some experts investigated and found that the culprit turned out to be an abandoned battery. People exclaimed: How did that happen? Does the waste battery only affect the environment? Why does it harm to physical health? Today, I will explain it to you.

We all know that throwing waste batteries will have an impact on the surrounding environment. Why do you say that it will cause great harm to people?

Mercury discarded in natural batteries will slowly overflow from the battery, enter the soil or water source, and then enter the human body through crops, damaging the human kidney. Under the action of microorganisms, inorganic mercury can be converted into methylmercury and accumulated in the body of fish. After eating this fish, methylmercury will enter human brain cells, causing severe damage to the human nervous system. Those will go crazy and die. The famous Japanese mink disease is methylmercury. Cadmium seeps out contaminated land and water bodies, and eventually enters the human body to damage human liver and kidney. It also causes bone weakness and severe bone deformation. The leakage of acid and heavy metal lead from automobile waste batteries can cause soil and water pollution in nature, and ultimately cause harm to people.

The emergence of batteries has brought great changes to our lives, making life more convenient. But the used batteries cannot be discarded, protect the environment is to protect ourselves.
