The lithium-ion battery (LIB) thermal runaway (TR) emits a wide size range of particles with diverse chemical compositions. When inhaled, these particles can cause serious adverse health effects. This study measured the size distributions of particles with diameters less than 10 µm released throughout the TR-driven combustion of cylindrical lithium iron phosphate

However, many organisations are becoming aware of the risk and fire risk assessors should take into consideration an lithium-ion battery risks. Lithium-ion fire extinguishers use a new and revolutionary extinguishing agent, Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD). These have specifically been designed for use on lithium-ion batteries.
When used properly, no. But batteries can present a fire risk when over-charged, short-circuited, submerged in water or if they are damaged. It's really important to charge them safely too. How to stay safe Always use the charger that came with your phone, tablet, e-cigarette or mobile device.
Currently, there are very limited methods of safely tackling a fire involving a lithium-ion battery because they burn at extreme temperatures. Even a small one can create “thermal runaway” where one cell ignites the next one in an unstoppable chain.
Lithium-ion battery fires are typically caused by thermal runaway, where internal temperatures rise uncontrollably. Lithium-ion battery fires can be prevented through careful handling, proper storage and regular monitoring. Fire extinguishers explicitly designed for lithium-ion battery fires are the best to use.
External Heat Exposure: High ambient temperatures or heat sources can trigger a fire. Improper Disposal: Crushing or mishandling discarded batteries can cause fires, especially in waste processing environments. How Do These Fires Occur?
In all circumstances, only suitably trained personnel/emergency-responders should attempt to extinguish early-stage lithium-ion battery fires, when it is safe to do so. As lithium-ion battery fires create their own oxygen during thermal runaway, they are very difficult for fire and rescue services to deal with.
