Do lead-acid batteries have an environmental risk assessment framework?

The environment risk assessment was presented in this paper particularly, the framework of environmental risk assessment on lead-acid batteries was established and methods for analyzing and forecasting the environmental risk of lead-acid batteries were selected.

What are lead-acid batteries?

Lead-acid batteries are the most widely and commonly used rechargeable batteries in the automotive and industrial sector. Irrespective of the environmental challenges it poses, lead-acid batteries have remained ahead of its peers because of its cheap cost as compared to the expensive cost of Lithium ion and nickel cadmium batteries.

How does recycling lead-acid batteries affect the environment?

Ingestion of vegetables and inhalation are the main exposure pathways. In recent years, environmental pollution and public health incidents caused by the recycling of spent lead-acid batteries (LABs) has becoming more frequent, posing potential risk to both the ecological environment and human health.

Are lead-acid batteries harmful?

The materials contained in lead-acid batteries may bring about lots of pollution accidents such as fires, explosions, poisoning and leaks, contaminating environment and damaging ecosystem. The main chemical compositions and contents of spent lead-acid batteries were listed in Table 1.

How much lead does a battery contain?

The batteries contain large amounts of lead either as solid metal or lead-oxide powder. An average battery can contain up to 10 kilograms of lead.

What is the work procedure of a lead-acid battery study?

The work procedure included identifying accident, analyzing risk, pollution forecast and defensive measures. By analysing the environmental risk assessment of lead-acid batteries, the study supplied direction for the preventive measures according to the forecast results of lead-acid batteries.
