The findings confirmed that discarded PSCs may release Pb when subjected to water, rain, and landfill leachate and could increase the oxygen consumption and may release CO2 into the environment. Toxicants like Pb in lead-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) may become available to humans through leaching and transport through water, air, and soil. Here,
Around ten thousand tons of silicon in discarded photovoltaic modules end up on the recycling market annually in Germany. This figure will rise to several hundred thousand tons per year by 2029.
