Harmful Smartphone Batteries

Harmful Smartphone Batteries

As of date, I am using a Chinese made phone (I will be changing it to Indian made soon), an I-Pad Air tab and a Dell laptop, which all depends upon a re-chargeable battery.

The batteries, by default, produces some gases and they are not friendly to humans. In fact, they are very dangerous.
Phone batteries emit toxic gases
Phone batteries emit toxic gases.. period.

I am not a science student; I came to know about the batteries producing (toxic) gases by reading the news report in Times of India newspaper.

I am wondering now how much damage I have taken from the toxic gases emitted from the lithium-ion batteries of these devices. In fact, I am imagining about the health of billions of users in this world who use lithium-ion batteries powered devices.

If we have to believe in the research (we should believe and it is true) conducted by the researchers in the United States and China, every single person in this world is exposed to dangerous toxic gases emitted by the lithium-ion batteries of their mobile phones or any devices which uses such batteries.

The researchers have concluded that the lithium-ion batteries emits one hundred types of dangerous gases including the carbon monoxide  which is known to cause strong irritation on the skin, eyes and also on the nasal passages.  

If your smartphone is overheating, or is damaged, or if you are using a low quality or defective charger (think about Chinese made), you are sure to inhale these toxic gases.

The study has proved that fully charged battery will release more toxic gases than a battery with 50 percent charge. So, should we consider half-charged smartphones (any gadgets for that matter) are good to use? Not at all!

Note that any battery will emit gas, it accumulates within the phones body (sealed), and it does come out. Any doubt in it? How far is your phone from you when you are using it?

Hope that the manufacturers of the smartphones, tabs or laptops find out a solution to get rid of these toxic gases emitted by the re-chargeable batteries. (Any batteries for that matter).

Until then, is there any alternative?

Can we use Bluetooth to get rid of the toxic gases emitted by the smartphone batteries? Well, you know that Bluetooth device also uses re-chargeable batteries.
How about earphones? This seems to be the only option now. However, your smartphone is not far away from you!  

We are using laptops, DSLRs, invertors, UPS, etc... God save us!
