The impact of mobile batteries on the environment should be discussed without further apology. I believed that the manufacturers must take responsibility to ensure that used batteries are properly disposed. The argument here is, used batteries are very dangerous to both the environment and humans.

Research has established, that lead which is found in mobile phone batteries and other electronic devices, can accumulate in the environment and have a detrimental effect on plants, animals, and humans. In humans, it causes damage to the central and peripheral nervous systems, blood systems, and kidneys. Secondly, consumer electronics have been recorded to be responsible for 40% of this metal found in landfills.

Therefore, I suggest that a legislation be enacted by every nation to oblige the producers of mobile phone batteries to take responsibility to dispose their used batteries. This will reduce environmental degradation and health hazard.
