Info: These batteries contain heavy metals that are hazardous to the environment and fatal to the human organism. The acid (sulphuric acid) from vehicle batteries and the alkaline solution (potassium hydroxide solution) from emergency power batteries are highly corrosive.

Avoiding/reducing: Use high-quality batteries. They are reliable and have a long service life.

Recycling/environmentally sound disposal:

Lead-acid batteries are dismantled. Lead and PP plastics are supplied to industry as a raw materials. Battery acid is neutralised.

Nickel-cadmium batteries are dismantled. Iron, ferronickel, cadmium and some plastics are supplied to industry as raw materials and the alkaline solution is neutralised.
