Why is proper disposal of old batteries important?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To protect the environment and health from harmful substances

Old batteries are a form of potentially hazardous waste. Depending on their chemistry, they may contain substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, corrosive electrolytes, or other materials that can harm people and ecosystems if released improperly. Throwing batteries into ordinary rubbish or burying them can allow leakage into soil and water, while burning them can create dangerous fumes or residues. The responsible practice is to keep them separate and deliver them to an authorised collection, take-back, or e-waste recycling facility according to local rules. Therefore, option C states the reason for proper disposal.
