LUNCHTIME SEMINAR

 

Lead Battery Recycling: Hazards and Opportunities for Improvement

October 2, 13:15 – 14:45

Room 18

 

Lead battery recycling is a hazardous industry with environmental sustainability benefits that is growing rapidly along with the demand for vehicles, backup power for cell phone towers, server farms, and solar power. This session will highlight the environmental and public health hazards associated with this industry. Lead accounts for 674,000 deaths annually and lead toxicity in low and middle-income countries costs $977 billion annually. A representative of the World Health Organization will provide a case study on the response and cleanup of a lead battery recycling site in Senegal and UNEP will provide an overview of global lead emissions and environmental releases of lead from the use, recycling and disposal of lead batteries. Faridah Were will discuss the ongoing hazards and legacy contamination posed by lead battery recycling in Kenya to workers and the environment. Perry Gottesfeld will describe global trends in the industry and opportunities for improvement.

 

Speakers:

Eisaku Toda, UNEP

Joanna Tempowski, WHO

Faridah Were, KIRDI

Perry Gottesfeld, Occupational Knowledge International
