a fire in a lithium battery recycling plant,
photograph Adeba via REUTERS showing a warehouse fire owned by French
recycling group SNAM, which houses lithium batteries in Viviez, north of
Toulouse, France February 17, 2024 in this image obtained from social media, Charles
Giusti, a local official in the Aveyron prefecture which includes Viviez, said
on BFM television there was no danger to people living nearby, really?,
let’s be clear here, as the batteries are burning they release cadmium fumes, and in case you do not know cadmium is highly toxic and dangerous to the environment, but Charles Giusti, a local official in the Aveyron prefecture which includes Viviez, said on BFM television there was no danger to people living nearby, the note said that considering the environment of the factory and the behaviour of toxic fumes, these should not pose an immediate health risk to residents, let’s just hope the wind does not change, so much for driving EVs and saving the atmosphere! the prefecture said in a statement overnight that while the
fire was under control, it was burning slowly and was expected to last for
several hours, SNAM did not immediately respond to a request for comment, more on the story here, on a lighter note,
way to go!
and quite right too!
