Mercury-containing batteries (code 16 06 03*) pose severe environmental and health risks due to mercury toxicity.
Proper hazardous waste management ensures protection from contamination and accidents.
Key risks include:
- mercury vapor release when damaged;
- soil and water contamination;
- neurological harm to humans;
- bioaccumulation in ecosystems.
Effective handling of hazardous waste requires hermetic containers and trained staff.
Environmental servicing of enterprises ensures compliance and monitoring.
Secure hazardous waste storage uses corrosion-resistant containers labeled “Hg”.
Safe hazardous waste transportation follows international ADR standards.
Modern hazardous waste processing recovers valuable metals and neutralizes mercury residues.
A closed-loop approach strengthens environmental safety and industrial responsibility.
