In the dismantling process of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), one of the most critical stages is the removal of hazardous fluids such as gasoline, engine oil, brake fluid, and radiator coolant. If disposed of improperly, these liquids can lead to soil and groundwater contamination, and even pose significant fire hazards.
Fluids like gasoline can quickly penetrate the soil, contaminating the surrounding environment. Due to its high viscosity, engine oil can remain in the soil for years, hindering plant growth. Furthermore, the antifreeze found in radiator coolant is highly toxic to living organisms and wildlife.
The separation and recycling of these fluids are an essential part of automotive waste management. Many of these liquids can be reprocessed through specialized methods and reused in various industries. This practice not only protects the environment but also prevents the waste of valuable resources.
Ultimately, protecting our soil and water requires the strict implementation of safe handling and recycling procedures at vehicle dismantling facilities. This is a responsibility that must be taken seriously—for our sake and for the sake of future generations.
