- Impact of substances on environment, human health, safety, persons
- Lithium-ion batteries contain various materials and chemical substances, including lithium compounds, transition metal oxides, graphite, electrolytes, and other components. Under normal operating conditions, these substances are safely contained within the battery housing and do not pose a risk to users or the environment.
Improper handling, mechanical damage, overheating, fire, or misuse may cause the release of hazardous substances. Exposure to electrolyte liquids, gases, vapors, or combustion products may result in irritation of the skin, eyes, and respiratory system and may pose health hazards upon prolonged or significant exposure.
Damaged or improperly disposed batteries may contaminate soil, groundwater, and surface water and may adversely affect ecosystems. To minimize environmental impact and prevent potential risks to human health and safety, batteries shall be collected separately, recycled, and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations.
Appropriate precautions shall be taken during storage, transportation, use, and disposal to prevent short circuits, mechanical damage, thermal events, and the release of hazardous substances. In the event of damage, leakage, overheating, or fire, the battery shall be isolated and handled according to the applicable emergency procedures.
Residual Risk:
Despite compliance with applicable safety requirements, a residual risk of fire, thermal runaway, release of hazardous substances, and environmental contamination remains in the event of severe mechanical, electrical, or thermal abuse. Users shall follow all safety instructions provided by the manufacturer to reduce these risks to an acceptable level.
