Maybe a trace amount of lead would have dissolved into the water and even less into your skin. You''re probably fine but if you are concerned you should talk to your doctor and request you be tested for lead poisoning. You should be wearing eye protection, gloves and a respirator. The acid and lead salts are damaging to lungs, skin, eyes...
The leakage of sulfuric acid was the main environmental risk of lead-acid batteries in the process of production, processing, transportation, use or storage. According to the project scale the sulfuric acid leakage rate was calculated to be 0.190kg/s, and the leakage amount in 10 minutes was about 114kg.
The implications of this review are two-fold: it validates calls for a nationwide assessment of lead exposure pathways and levels in China as well as for a more comprehensive investigation into the health impacts of the lead-acid battery industry.
Lead-acid batteries are the most widely and commonly used rechargeable batteries in the automotive and industrial sector. Irrespective of the environmental challenges it poses, lead-acid batteries have remained ahead of its peers because of its cheap cost as compared to the expensive cost of Lithium ion and nickel cadmium batteries.
From Vietnamese villages to the backstreets of Chinese megacities, from Roma camps in Kosovo to workshops in the shantytowns of Africa, from forest clearings in Bangladesh to giant smelters in India, the unsafe recycling of lead batteries, mostly from automobiles, is a lethal and growing scar on the planet.
Exposure to lead-contaminated soil and dust resulting from battery recycling and mining has caused outbreaks of mass lead poisoning, including deaths in young children, in some countries. Once lead enters the body, it is distributed to organs including the brain, kidneys, liver and bones.
Inappropriate recycling operations release considerable amounts of lead particles and fumes emitted into the air, deposited onto soil, water bodies and other surfaces, with both environment and human health negative impacts. Lead-acid batteries are the most widely and commonly used rechargeable batteries in the automotive and industrial sector.
