and electrolytes (Kattenburg‚ n.d.). Once in the landfills‚ toxic chemicals in the battery can be released. When acid rain falls on a landfill‚ the soil absorbs the toxic chemicals from the batteries and those chemicals are ultimately found in groundwater (Dillon‚ 1994‚ p. 3). Mercury‚ one of the toxic chemicals found in batteries‚ is known for poisoning animals and plants. One adverse effect of improper disposal of batteries is humans are eating fish that have consumed mercury which can lead to
