How does the discarding of batteries affect humans?

Though batteries can be very helpful in our everyday life, nevertheless, they can become dangerous, if not managed correctly after their use. This happens because batteries contain chemical substances (heavy metals: mercury, cadmium, nickel, lead), which can cause severe impacts on human health when they are dumped or discarded together with household waste. Discarding batteries in the household waste stream increases the toxicity levels of the landfills, because of the heavy metals contained in the batteries. Heavy metals can pollute the underground water table, the soil and the water, leading to their penetration in the food chain, thus directly affecting human health.
