Test result has shown that certain aluminum and brass cookware leach significant levels of lead (Pb) from the cookware used for cooking into food. Lead is toxic to humans hence food with high concentration of lead is unsafe for consumption.

For a better understanding of solar dynamo, it is imperative to study solar poles, however all observations of the Sun so far were made from about solar equator. It was not possible to image solar poles due to limited view from the ecliptic plane.
