Question

Electric vehicles are considered less polluting but they use nickel and cadmium compounds in their
batteries. Mining for these elements need energy and leads to deforestation and pollution. Can you suggest a
solution for this problem?

Answer 1

When talking about vehicle emissions, there are two types: direct and life cycle. ... The U.S. Department of Energy says calculating this type of emission is complex but that electric cars produce fewer life cycle emissions than traditional vehicles because they don't rely on gas.

Answer 2

Answer:

Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for refurbishment, reuse, resale, salvage recycling through material recovery, or disposal are also considered e-waste. Informal processing of e-waste in developing countries can lead to adverse human health effects and environmental pollution.

Electronic scrap components, such as CPUs, contain potentially harmful materials such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, or brominated flame retardants. Recycling and disposal of e-waste may involve significant risk to health of workers and their communities.[1]
