They cause significant damage not only to the environment but<br>also to public health when released into the environment without control. The purpose of this work is<br>to study the environmental and economic aspects and determine the external effects caused by the<br>consequences of the consumption of autonomous batteries. Correlation-regression analysis showed<br>that there is a link between indicators of domestic market filling of household batteries and the dynamics of mortality related to cancer. The study provides simplified calculations of external effects that<br>arise in Ukraine because of the consumption of household batteries due to the absence of a system<br>for their collection and disposal. The sum of the total external effects is determined, excluding losses<br>due to air pollution, water pollution, and agricultural losses.</p> ER -
