Earlier the rate of accidents was the subject of concerns which was resolved by implementing seat belts in the vehicles. This strategy reduces the number of deaths in the accidents to few extent. However, the collisions, unpadded interior parts of the vehicles and other such severe cases forces the car manufacturers to avail the vehicles with latest safety and protection kit. Therefore, the airbags were introduced in the cars and other vehicles to protect the driver and passenger from the injuries during accidents. Airbags also are known as Air Cushion Restraint System is a safety device which automatically inflates during collisions or accidents. Airbags are filled with the gas which provides a cushion to avoid the riders from getting a strike over the internal parts of the vehicles. To inflate the airbag, the vehicles are avail with the sensors which make an alert sound to inform the rider about the safety system enablement. These sensors are controlled by the central unit known as Airbag Control Unit. This ACU consist of various types of sensors depending on the various aspect of the accidents such as speed, brakes, etc.

Nitrites occurs naturally in the environment which are present as inorganic ions. The ammonia present in the soil oxidizes to form nitrite. They are introduced through the application of fertilizers containing nitrogen compounds, which may be through decomposition of animal waste or may be through septic system or sewage treatment facilities. Regular usage of nitrite may lead to skin diseases. They are also called as poppers which are yellow in color and are at times used for their intoxicating effects they are sold in bottles and are inhaled directly from the bottle or from a cigarette dipped into the liquid or a cloth. Nitrites are a common components of food preservatives e.g. sodium nitrite is used to preserve meat. Because of nitrites the meat color is red or pink which is caused by oxidation of nitrites to nitric oxide. The average intake of nitrite is approximately 0.09 mg.

Sodium Tetraborate is also know Borax, Sodium Borate, or Disodium Tetraborate. Sodium Tetraborate, is a naturally occurring mineral and is a source of the essential element boron, which is an inexpensive, and effective antiseptic, antifungal and insecticidal treatment. Sodium Tetraborate occurs naturally in evaporate deposits produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes. Sodium Tetraborate can be produced synthetically from other boron compounds.

Steviol glycoside is a Chemical compound that imparts a sweet taste to the leaves of the plant Stevia rebaudiana a native South American plant and forms the main basic component of a variety of sweeteners sold under the generic name stevia and other several trade names. They naturally occur in related species like Stevia phlebophylla and the plant Rubus.Chingii (Rosaceae). Chemical compounds react with the bitter and sweet receptors leading to a bitter taste after consumption. The sweet compounds are called steviol glycoside and is approximately 30 and 320 times sweeter than sucrose. They are stable in heat, pH-stable, do not ferment, they do not induce a glycemic response when ingested, thus making them good options as sugar substitutes for people suffering from diabetes and other people who require controlling the carbohydrates in their diet. The maximum daily intake for steviol glycoside, also known as steviol equivalents, is approximately 4 mg/kg as per the body weight per day.
