Currently, apart from the widely known lithium-ion batteries, there are competitive solutions in the form of, for example, Li-S batteries. While the results of studies on the toxicity of Li-ion battery components are published, such studies on the components of Li-S cells are just beginning. The purpose of the current review was to identify materials used in the production of Li-S batteries and their toxicity, especially for humans. The review showed many kinds of materials with different levels of toxicity utilized for manufacturing of these cells. Some materials are of low toxicity, while some others are of the high one. A lot of materials have assigned different hazard statements. For some of the materials, no hazard statements were assigned, although such materials are toxic. No data related to the toxicity of some materials were found in the literature. This points out the need to further studies on their toxicity and legal actions to assign appropriate hazard statements.

Human is evolved and nourished by food so food has been given the prime importance since Vedic period, but if our food itself is polluted then how the development of health hazards can be prevented or checked. The contamination of food is a major concern especially for developing countries like India. Today, society are very careful about the selection of food but unfortunately attention has not been given about selection of cookware and the impact of these cooking utensils on health. Number of good looking cookware sets are made by very dangerous material and coated by toxic chemicals to. Most commonly used cookware sets are Aluminum, Plastic and Non-stick cookware. During cooking process these cookware sets releases many hazardous substances like Teflon, BPA, Aluminum etc., which contaminates food and ultimately reaches to the body and linked as a causative factor for many diseases like Cancer, Alzheimer's disease etc. According to FDA materials that are used to make utensils should not allow to migrate into food. Though, traditionally Earthen pots, Cast- iron, glass, bamboo and copper, stone cookware sets were in use. Those were added therapeutic value in the cooked food. Thus, attention must be needed to choose the correct utensils for cooking which should be safe and beneficial for health. In Ayurveda during the description of eight dietary principles, importance of Vasana (utensils) is mentioned under the description of Karana (processing techniques of food items). Ayurveda believes that container helps in transformation of qualities of food items. Different kinds of utensils had been shown both positive and negative effect on body. Hence, this article makes an attempt to gathered data and compiled to find the health impacts of newly evolved as well as traditional cookware options in society.

“…This is called "polymer fever" and there are more such examples in medical literature (Harris, 1951;Williams et al, 1974;Silver and Young, 1993). Because PTFE or Teflon is a commonly used compound that can lead to polymeric smoke fever when heated under poorly ventilated conditions, these cases are quite common (Adams, 1963;Delgado and Waksman, 2004;Son et al, 2006;Toyama et al, 2006;Shimizu et al, 2012). These cases of PFIB poisoning in the household or industry rarely end with death (Temple et al, 1985), however in view of the increasing use of PTFE in commercial and industrial products, recognition of this subject is important for doctors in the field of emergency medicine and doctors in the field of occupational medicine (Tsai et l., 2000; Stenton, 2016).…”

Perfluoroisobutene (PFIB) is a colorless toxic gas which can be absorbed into the body by inhalation. The substance irritates the respiratory tract and may be used as a potential chemical warfare agent. Inhalation exposure may cause severe symptoms of pulmonary edema associated with wheezing, difficulty in breathing and sputum expectoration. A bluish skin color is also observed. Initially, cough and chest pain may occur. However, severe symptoms of pulmonary edema may be delayed for several hours before a rapid deterioration of health occurs. Excessive exposure may cause death.
