 E-Waste Litmus Prints   
 


An ill-advised lockdown home chemistry experiment using red cabbage juice, blotting paper, toxic electronics, and an inherited linen press.
              
Disassembled smartphone batteries pressed into homemade litmus paper for 7 days.

Pink is acid, in this case probably inadvertent hydroflouric acid created by the reaction of electrolyte and cabbage juice.

Green / blue is alkali.

Unexhibitably toxic.
