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.. 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!
