Lithium mines use a lot of water—many thousands of gallons per minute, according to The New York Times—and groundwater contamination with antimony and arsenic are a real and persistent threat.
Second, lithium batteries are newer than alkaline batteries. New technology demand and production costs raise lithium battery prices. As more electronic products require lithium batteries'' high energy density and long lifespan, global demand is rising. Lithium manufacturers are under pressure to meet demand, which has raised prices even more.

Human Toxicity from Damage and Deterioration. Before lithium-ion batteries even reach landfills, they already pose a toxic threat. When damaged, these rechargeable batteries can release fine particles—known as PM10 and PM2.5—into the air.These tiny particles, less than 10 and 2.5 microns in size, are especially dangerous because they carry metals like …
The lithium-ion battery market has grown steadily every year and currently reaches a market size of $40 billion. Lithium, which is the core material for the lithium-ion battery industry, is now being extd. from natural minerals and brines, but the processes are complex and consume a large amt. of energy.
