Description
Among many issues related to the burning concern of environmental pollution, toxic chemical impacts are gradually drawing attention to global and national policies. One such rising concern is the ramifications of the impacts of recycling lead and used lead acid batteries (ULAB). This category of batteries has long been used because of its efficiency for storing energy over long periods. Since the ULABs are recycled and reused in several sectors in Bangladesh due to the high demand, there is also an association with a great deal of lead pollution in soil and water that ultimately causes harm to human health and the environment. The lead pollution is attributed to unsafe, informal, illegal, and unregulated ULAB recycling facilities that have been established all over the country. This assessment starts with an overview of the global and regional trends of lead-acid battery production, consumption and end-of-life management. The assessment continues by examining the environmental, social and economic impacts of the mismanagement of battery waste, generated from the formal and informal sectors of used lead-acid battery recycling. The study then presents the recent conditions in terms of waste management and public awareness, followed by a strategy for policymakers looking to reduce lead pollution from the lead-acid battery in the concluding chapter.
