What are the hazards of batteries to the human body?

Modern technology is developing very rapidly, and various high-tech products are changing with each passing day. Some things are widely used. It is estimated that everyone has a mobile phone now, and it is the most widely used. Exchanging information is more convenient and handy. When we talk about mobile phones, we think of batteries. Many batteries nowadays are quite harmful. Batteries contain three of the five substances that pose the greatest threat to the natural environment: mercury, lead, and cadmium. What are the hazards of batteries to the human body? Let’s take a look below.

1. Waste batteries contain toxic heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead, and zinc. Mercury poisoning can damage the central nervous system and cause a 40% mortality rate. Cadmium is mainly harmful to the kidneys and can also cause "Itai-itai disease".

2. It is also a carcinogen; when the human body consumes food containing lead, it will affect enzymes and normal hemoglobin synthesis, and affect the nervous system.

3. Within one month of landfill treatment, the metal shell of waste batteries will be corroded and perforated, and the harmful substances in the waste batteries will enter the soil and water, causing environmental pollution.

4. According to tests by environmental experts, if one mercury-containing battery is mixed into 6 tons of domestic waste, the mercury concentration in the soil will exceed the safety standard when the waste is landfilled.

5. If waste batteries are mixed with domestic waste and enter an incinerator, the mercury, cadmium and other metals in them will vaporize at high temperatures and be discharged into the atmosphere, polluting the atmospheric environment and affecting human health.

6. During normal use, the mercury, cadmium, etc. in the battery will not leak out and cause harm.

The above is an explanation of the hazards of batteries to the human body. The more time and frequency we use our mobile phones, the more obvious the impact on our bodies will be. We need to get in touch with nature more often, breathe fresh air, and communicate with people face to face in our daily lives. This is the right choice. Use your cell phone as little as possible. Or products that contain batteries.
