6 FAQs about [Maseru waste lead battery pollution]

Is lead battery recycling hazardous in Africa?

Lead battery recycling is a hazardous industry in Africa, as evidenced by our investigation into potential soil contamination at 15 recycling plants and one battery manufacturing site in seven countries. We collected and analyzed 118 soil samples for total lead.

Are battery recycling plants a source of lead pollution?

Our results showed significant lead contamination around 15 licensed battery recycling plants. This shows that informal sector recycling is not the only source of lead pollution. Other studies have also reported excessive emissions from lead acid battery manufacturing and recycling plants in low and middle-income countries.

Why are lead batteries becoming a problem in Africa?

The problem is growing along with the market for lead batteries. This is due to lack of regulation and investment in environmentally sound battery recycling plants. Most facilities in Africa are small. They weren’t built with adequate pollution controls to prevent disasters and ongoing contamination.

Is informal recycling the only source of lead pollution?

We conducted a study around lead battery recycling plants in Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania and Tunisia. Our results showed significant lead contamination around 15 licensed battery recycling plants. This shows that informal sector recycling is not the only source of lead pollution.

Why are battery recycling plants a problem in Africa?

This is due to lack of regulation and investment in environmentally sound battery recycling plants. Most facilities in Africa are small. They weren’t built with adequate pollution controls to prevent disasters and ongoing contamination. The production of lead batteries is growing rapidly in Africa as the market for lead batteries expands.

Are lead battery recycling plants a source of airborne lead emissions?

Lead battery recycling plants have been recognized as sources of airborne lead emissions that have resulted in lead contamination of soil and dust. Other research has focused on informal lead battery recycling and documented soil contamination in and around such activities.
