Batteries

The quantity of batteries in the garbage is small but the battery

chemical are more toxic than the general waste materials. Due to rain
these chemicals can be washed out of the garbage, go into groundwater
and river, and so finally enter into the bodies of animal and humans.

So it would be wise to separate used batteries, collect them and recycle
the chemicals or dispose of them in a safe way. For the time being there
are no industrial recycling facilities in India.

So use batteries wisely! Use torches that consume less power. like
torches with diodes (not with bulbs) Use rechargeable batteries.

Zinc
Zinc is a bluish-white metal that oxidizes in moist air and burns in air
with a bright greenish flame, giving off plumes of zinc oxide.

Zinc is an important for a healthy body, but too much zinc is toxic. Too
much absorption of zinc can also stop our body to take in the copper
and iron which we need. The free zinc ion Zn+ in solution is highly toxic
to plants, small animals and even fish. An example showed that if 1 liter
of water contained 0.0004 grams of Zinc, it killed more than 93% of all
small organisms in water.

If we swallow zinc metal, it will be diluted in the acid of the stomach.

First signs of diseases can begin if we swallow 2 gm of zinc. A dog which
swallow a coin will have severe hemolytic anemia.

For the moment zinc is not a dangerous hazard, but if more and more is
dumped into the environment, it can become a problem.
