Global Health Impact of Improper Battery Disposal


GRAVITA
The reason for the strict set of rules governing the disposal of batteries is that lead acid batteries are largely composed of 60-75% Lead, Lead-dioxide  and sulfuric acid solution electrolyte. This heavy metal element makes them toxic and improper disposal can be hazardous to the environment.

Improper and illegal disposal of lead acid batteries show up in the form of pollution of our drinking water, and food produced from ingredients exposed to small and moderate levels of lead content. humans are very susceptible to the effects of lead and children are the most vulnerable. Lead's primary target organ is the peripheral nervous system which cause poor growth, delayed learning and reduced intellect. This is also known as lead-poisoning.

This improper battery disposal needs to prevent and one should understand the responsibility towards the environment. The Battery Recycling firms should follow the environmental guidelines to make the environment pollution free.

Lead in Toy Jewelry


GRAVITA
I found this story about Lead very Interesting...

Lead is a highly toxic metal that was used for many years in products found in and around our homes. Lead may cause a range of health effects from behavioral problems and learning disabilities to seizures and death. Children six years old and under are most at risk because their bodies are growing quickly.

When a child puts an object containing lead in his or her mouth, the child can suffer from lead poisoning. For example, in 2003 a child became lead-poisoned from ingesting toy jewelry from a vending machine. On July 8, 2004, the threat of lead poisoning from toy jewelry led the CPSC to conduct a voluntary recall of 150 million pieces of metal toy jewelry sold widely in vending machines. Unfortunately, another incident occurred in 2006, when a child died from ingesting a toy charm containing lead. This incident prompted the voluntary recall of 300,000 charm bracelets. The charm and metal bracelets were given as free gifts with the purchase of shoes from one manufacturer.

Toy jewelry containing unsafe levels of lead has continued to be sold even after CPSC issued guidance to prevent the sale of these products. In addition to toy jewelry products containing lead, other products containing lead have been recalled, such as crayons, chalk and clothing. For a list of recalls, including recalls for products containing lead, visit CPSC's Toy Hazards Recall Listing.... .. Read More>>

Rotary Furnace for Lead Smelting


GRAVITA
In most of the world other than the U.S., rotary furnaces (long, short, and top blown) have replaced blast furnaces as the major smelting vessels for lead recycling. Rotary furnaces are very versatile. They can accept virtually any type of lead-bearing feed material, including battery scrap, dust, dross, scrap lead, and sludge. Rotary furnaces can use any carbon source such as coal, coke, or ebonite as reducing agent, and they can use a variety of fuels, such as oil, coal, or gas. Because they are batch furnaces, rotary furnaces can be operated in stages to produce low-impurity bullion for refining to pure lead, or they can completely reduce the charge to recover all metal values for production of lead-antimony alloys. Rotary furnaces generally use Na2CO3 and iron as fluxes, which produce a fluid, low-melting slag.
