Sake of environmental protection of mercury-containing batteries to say “no”!

Waste batteries may be small, damage Queshen big. However, due to pollution, waste batteries like garbage, air and water pollution, as could any sensory feel it has great hidden, so they did not receive due attention. At present, China has become the production and consumption of battery power, battery waste pollution is an urgent need to address a major environmental problem. Today, we will publish three consecutive relevant reports, as well as relevant government departments want people to attach importance to environmental pollution caused by used batteries, common action, for the recycling of waste batteries to deal with advice and suggestions, in order to encourage production and consumption, "Green Battery" to develop out the relevant policies.

Batteries are our daily lives, using one of the most widely used products, from cameras, tape recorders, calculators and electronic alarm clocks to pagers, electronic dictionaries and handheld computers, are inseparable from the batteries. China is a dry battery production and consumption country, year, output reached 15 billion, ranking first in the world, consumption of 70 million, an average of every Chinese person consumes five batteries a year.

For a long time, China in the production of dry batteries, it is necessary to join a toxic substance ─ ─ mercury or mercury compounds. China’s alkaline batteries in the mercury content of 1% ~ 5%, 0.025% neutral dry-cell batteries, dry batteries every year for the production of dozens of tons of mercury amounted to much.

Mercury is our so-called "Mercury." Mercury and mercury compounds are toxic, scientists found that mercury has obvious neurotoxicity, in addition to the endocrine system, immune system, also have adverse effects. The 20th century took place 50 years in Japan shocked the world of public nuisance illness ─ ─ Minamata disease is due to mercury ACER ASPIRE 1300 Battery.

More than 40 years ago in Japan, a coastal town in southern Kyushu ─ ─ Minamata town, the local population there is a strange disease. Patients began to slurred speech, unsteady gait, limb paralysis, the final body cramps, mental disorders, died of torture in pain. Later, infected with diseases more and more people, even cats and birds have experienced the same symptoms. Later, medical workers and marine fish from the deceased’s body found in the body of toxic methylmercury, proved that people eating contaminated fish poisoning. After investigation, the original local industrial companies in Japan nitrogenous fertilizer to perennial Minamata Bay mercury-containing waste water discharged to sea by mercury pollution, the local fishing seafood contain high concentrations of methylmercury.

Minamata Bay in order to restore the ecological environment, the Japanese government has spent 14 years invested 485 billion yen, the Minamata Bay mercury sediment dig deep 4 m, all clear. Meanwhile, in Minamata Bay, the entrance to the establishment of a quarantine network will be contaminated within the Deep Bay fish were all caught in landfills. Who have witnessed the outbreak of Minamata disease Minamata, Japan, the Mayor Masazumi Yoshii said with emotion: "After nearly half a century of unremitting efforts, we have finally from the shadow of Minamata disease to come out, and is building a new city of Minamata. I hope that the whole world learned the lessons of Minamata disease in Japan, out of ignorance of the mode of production, the implementation of civilized mode of production. "

It is understood that in developed countries, have been eliminated mercury batteries, mercury-free batteries achieved or low-mercury. In Sino-Japanese Friendship Environmental Protection Center of Japan as a consultant of experts Liu Xiu-ming, Japan’s current production and use of mercury batteries are not, due to mercury-free, waste batteries greatly reduce the harm to the environment, and landfill disposal costs are also lower a.

China also has begun to implement low-mercury batteries and mercury-free treatment, in the new century, when the battery finally went into the green Chinese people’s lives. However, the reporter has learned that the majority of our consumers to understand the pollution of waste batteries are not too many people buy batteries often very arbitrary, and did not give top priority to compliance with environmental standards. As for the battery manufacturer, the production of environmentally friendly batteries, need to improve the process equipment and raw materials, formulations, no doubt to increase capital investment and production costs, companies are not very willing. At present, some business-to-cell’s "Restricted Mercury provides that" indifference, did not touch Dell INSPIRON 2500 Battery.

How to advocate in favor of environmental protection, the concept of green consumption? How to promote more environmentally friendly production of green products? An interview with Center for Environmental Sciences, Peking University Professor Ye Wenhu. He said the decision to choose what kind of consumer goods, people’s consumption patterns, while the public’s consumption patterns are an indication of the degree of social civilization. Should be addressed through publicity and education, to advocate the public to choose a new concept of sustainable development, consumption patterns, buying green products in favor of environmental protection, consumer choice will push producers to improve the product. In addition, manufacturers should actively promote environmentally friendly products. What kind of product companies to stimulate consumption, which involves the quality of entrepreneurs and corporate image. However, there are these two points alone is not enough, because the consumer psychology from the public, the general pursuit of a cheap, green is not a very important factor; from the enterprise business, the money is the first 1, the green is not the primary factor to be considered. Therefore, we must come forward by the government, using economic, legal and administrative means to facilitate the production of enterprises and public consumption patterns in line with the environmental requirements. Government behavior, market behavior (or corporate behavior), and public behavior of these three kinds of human social behavior, the government acts in a dominant HP 337607-001 Battery.
