從環境的角度來看，所有電池都不是同等的。許多回收組織都會告訴人們將它們放入垃圾桶。另一方面，鉛酸電池毒性很大，在很多地方都被禁止進入垃圾填埋場。NiMH電池，也稱為鎳氫電池，位于中(zhong)(zhong)間位置。它(ta)們含有(you)(you)(you)可能對人類(lei)和環境造成損害的(de)(de)(de)(de)金屬。但(dan)是，在大多地方(fang)(fang)，您(nin)可以(yi)將它(ta)們放在垃圾桶中(zhong)(zhong)，就(jiu)像使用堿(jian)性電(dian)池(chi)一(yi)樣。如果您(nin)正在尋找回收鎳氫(qing)電(dian)池(chi)的(de)(de)(de)(de)地方(fang)(fang)，您(nin)有(you)(you)(you)很多選擇。收集站點的(de)(de)(de)(de)數量正在增長。有(you)(you)(you)幾個建議可以(yi)找到丟棄(qi)不需要的(de)(de)(de)(de)鎳氫(qing)電(dian)池(chi)的(de)(de)(de)(de)地方(fang)(fang)。雖然(ran)目前國內的(de)(de)(de)(de)垃圾桶還沒有(you)(you)(you)具體分類(lei)出來，但(dan)是這個有(you)(you)(you)必要了解一(yi)下。

鎳氫電池

顧名思(si)義，NiMH或鎳(nie)氫金(jin)屬電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)是(shi)由(you)鎳(nie)和氫兩種(zhong)天(tian)然(ran)元素(su)組合而成。它們是(shi)由(you)美(mei)國(guo)科學家Stanford Ovshinsky發(fa)明的(de)(de)(de)，并于1986年首次獲(huo)得專利。一些(xie)NiMH電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)看起來就像你(ni)可(ke)以在雜(za)貨(huo)店購買的(de)(de)(de)堿性電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)。其他(ta)產(chan)品(pin)則是(shi)為相應的(de)(de)(de)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)子設(she)(she)備定制的(de)(de)(de)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)組。NiMH電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)非常適(shi)合經常使(shi)(shi)用(yong)且消耗大量(liang)(liang)能量(liang)(liang)的(de)(de)(de)產(chan)品(pin)。數(shu)碼相機，手持視頻游(you)戲，玩(wan)具(ju)和MP3播放器都(dou)(dou)使(shi)(shi)用(yong)鎳(nie)氫電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)。這些(xie)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)的(de)(de)(de)充電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)時間(jian)不(bu)會超過30天(tian)，因此在煙霧，一氧化(hua)碳探測器和應急手電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)筒等(deng)設(she)(she)備中(zhong)使(shi)(shi)用(yong)效(xiao)果不(bu)佳。使(shi)(shi)用(yong)NiMH電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)有一些(xie)真正的(de)(de)(de)優點(dian)。某些(xie)鎳(nie)氫電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)可(ke)充電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)的(de)(de)(de)事(shi)實(shi)也意味著(zhu)您不(bu)需(xu)要消耗盡可(ke)能多的(de)(de)(de)新電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)。如果正確(que)充電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)，可(ke)充電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)通常可(ke)以使(shi)(shi)用(yong)數(shu)百次，這意味著(zhu)許多電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)從當地垃圾填(tian)埋場轉移。比如美(mei)國(guo)人每(mei)年購買30億個(ge)(ge)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)（相當于每(mei)人8個(ge)(ge)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)），任何減少這個(ge)(ge)數(shu)量(liang)(liang)的(de)(de)(de)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)都(dou)(dou)很棒。

為什么回收鎳氫電池很重要？

NiMH電(dian)池(chi)也有(you)一些(xie)缺點。大量鎳(nie)對人(ren)類(lei)和動物(wu)健康是(shi)危險(xian)的(de)。它是(shi)一種已(yi)知的(de)致(zhi)癌物(wu)質，可(ke)引(yin)起心血(xue)管(guan)疾病和高血(xue)壓，還可(ke)損(sun)害肝臟和腎臟。一般來說(shuo)，雖(sui)然(ran)NiMH電(dian)池(chi)比NiCd電(dian)池(chi)的(de)環(huan)境友好(hao)度更好(hao)，因(yin)為NiCd電(dian)池(chi)含(han)有(you)一種叫做鎘的(de)有(you)毒重金屬。但是(shi)，鎳(nie)氫電(dian)池(chi)他們(men)仍然(ran)可(ke)以污染水道(dao)和空氣。因(yin)此，美國(guo)的(de)許多州(zhou)禁止將(jiang)鎳(nie)氫電(dian)池(chi)用于垃圾填埋場，包括明尼蘇(su)達州(zhou)，紐約州(zhou)，新罕(han)布什(shen)爾州(zhou)和佛羅里(li)達州(zhou)。
