The manufacturing process begins with building the chassis using a combination of aluminium and steel; emissions from smelting these remain the same in both ICE and EV. However, the environmental impact of battery production begins to change when we consider the manufacturing process of the battery in the latter type.
impacts and hazards of spent batteries. It categorises the environmental impacts, sources and pollution pathways of spent LIBs. Identified hazards include fire electrolyte. Ultimately, pollutants can contaminate the soil, water and air and pose a threat to human life and health. In this work, we discuss some of the main
For batteries, a number of pollutive agents has been already identified on consolidated manufacturing trends, including lead, cadmium, lithium, and other heavy metals. Moreover, the emerging materials used in battery assembly may pose new concerns on environmental safety as the reports on their toxic effects remain ambiguous.
Indeed, there are questions around battery production and resource depletion, but perhaps more concerning is the impact that mining lithium and other materials for the growing battery economy, such as graphite, will have on the health of workers and communities involved in this global production network.
(especially those from EVs) due to the potential environmental and human health risks. This study pr ovides an up-to-date overview of the environmental impacts and hazards of spent batteries. It categorises the environmental impacts, sources and pollution pathways of spent LIBs. Identified hazards include fire electrolyte.
Nevertheless, the leakage of emerging materials used in battery manufacture is still not thoroughly studied, and the elucidation of pollutive effects in environmental elements such as soil, groundwater, and atmosphere are an ongoing topic of interest for research.
