RE: Environmental impact of batteries
I once heard a story of a young lady who used her hand to remove a spoilt battery and she eat with the same hand without washing it, she ended up on a hospital bed. Contact with batteries could cause damage for the body and even for the society like you have mentioned correctly, proper recycling is very important.
It is unfortunate what happened to the young woman, there are many cases like this, because many people are unaware of the dangers that batteries hide, recycling and final disposal is very important, and the authorities should promote the necessary mechanisms for it.
