As explained by Klaus Töpfer, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program;
"It has been a long time since lead is extremely useful for us, but also
provokes all kinds of intoxications, in particular with workers and children..."
"The recycling of lead batteries is one of the most sources of potential
hazardous dangers in particular workers... In order to have a safe recycling, the
strictest ecological and professional standards must be applied by a few
specialized enterprises..." |

Why is lead dangerous for our health?
| |
|
Because it is malleable and is corrosion resistant, and is the most used
metal in the world after iron. Exploited since at least 8000 years, it has
probably been one of the first causes of dangers to health and safety at work.
The first mentions of lead intoxications go back to Ancient Greece and it has been
studied that Egyptians mummies had important lead concentration..
Of
the 2,5 millions tons produced in the world every year, approximately 75% is
used in the production of lead batteries used in cars, in industries and
portable tools.
In
many developping countries, the workers continues to destroy used batteries with
an axe which exposes them to severe dangers, Inhaling the dust, fumes and
vapours which are dispersed in the atmosphere on their work place which can
lead to severe lead intoxications. But the most frequent problem is the chronic
lead poisoning provoked by weak intakes of lead.
|
It is through the mouth or the lungs that the body
intakes lead, which 90% of it accumulates in the bones. The first intoxication
symptoms are fatigue, cephalea, bones and muscle pains, memory loss, loss of appetite,
disturbed sleep. Then follows constipation and acute abdominal pains or lead
colic.
If
the body continues to absorb lead, a paralysis follows which particularly
affects the radial nerve provoking a « drop hand ». A prolonged blood lead
drives the patient with convulsions, coma, and delirium and can lead to death.
Children are more vulnerable than adults to lead intoxications which may cause
them permanent neuropsychological damages. The lead may reach the fetus and
pregnant women must absolutely avoid it. All mammals are also affected; bovines
for example become ill and may die from lead absorption coming from oil
discharge or agricultural equipment abandoned in their pastures.
Where does lead go?
Second fusion lead from used batteries is interesting on the economical level
since it allows savings of 25% from the energetic costs compared to extracting
new lead. Furthermore, we can find batteries everywhere, their life span use is
predictable and the important lead market offered providing from recycling
creates scale economies. This is why the battery manufacturers strongly depend
on this re-melted load from which the major part comes from the recycling of
used batteries, although a small part of this recycled lead in the informal
sector is not reused in the factories but serves other means, for example for
the lead attached to fishermen poles.
