battery leakage



Can anyone explain to me why there is battery leakage after a prolong storage of an ordinary 1.5 V battery.  By leakage I mean the greyish white powder that forms around the battery near the top (or bottom?).  Is there more chance of leakage if the battery is left in the electronic equipment (Walkman, etc...)?
