Content: Air Pollution
The air pollution from recycling aluminum doesn’t just come from the heavy machines that burn fossil fuels. Air pollution is produced when the aluminum is melted. The melting process releases furans, dioxides, hydrogen chloride and particulate matter. Furans may be one of the worst toxic pollutants in the air. They are known to cause many health problems in humans, including liver damage, certain types of cancer, skin disorders, neurological problems and immune system impairment. 00:25
