Impact of Waste Batteries on the Environment
This article provides an overview of researches devoted to the impacts on the environment caused by exhaust chemical sources of electric current (CCS) at their disposal and incineration with household waste. As the majority of studies show, CCS represent a risk because of toxic heavy metals content of significant quantities. Controversial issue of the dangers of manganese-zinc CCS landfill and uncertainty of CCS behavior in various stages of wastes decomposition in the landfill required for research to evaluate the leaching of metals from current sources. The paper presents an analysis of the results of such studies.
