View moreFor 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.
From the mining of materials like lithium to the conversion process, improper processing and disposal of batteries lead to contamination of the air, soil, and water. Also, the toxic nature of batteries poses a direct threat to aquatic organisms and human health as well.
Production of the average lithium-ion battery uses three times more cumulative energy demand (CED) compared to a generic battery. The disposal of the batteries is also a climate threat. If the battery ends up in a landfill, its cells can release toxins, including heavy metals that can leak into the soil and groundwater.
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.
Battery disposal is another area of concern. When disposed of improperly, used battery components can cause toxic environmental challenges. Since these batteries contain potentially toxic elements, they can become an environmental disaster. In some cases, improper disposal can cause explosions.
While the principle of lower emissions behind electric vehicles is commendable, the environmental impact of battery production is still up for debate.
