Al, Si and trace amounts of silver have no health or environmental hazard, and the silver is the valuable bit. Please stop gas lighting based on obsolete technology that was only briefly popular in one country.
- Scoundreller 4y agoInhaling solid $anything dust is a health and environment hazard. Si dust probably isn't asbestos bad, but wouldn't want to breathe it in either.
- recycledmatt 4y agoThese will go into auto shredders (for the most part) which have dust management plants
- pfdietz 4y agoI'm pretty sure the dust from the 2 BILLION TONNES of steel the world makes every year, or the 32 TO 50 BILLION TONNES of sand and gravel that are mined globally every year, will be just a tad more serious of a problem. But I know, that dust is off in mines and mills, while PV recycling will be performed in preschools.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoWell don't go within 10km of a road then. Brake disks are full of it, and pads have much worse. Then there's all the ground up rubber, bitumen and glass. If anything the filtered outlet vent of a recycling facility would reduce this.
