Environmental protection group Greenpeace reports that tests it performed on the Apple iPhone showed a variety of hazardous chemicals in both the internal and external components.
After conducting independent tests on 18 internal and external iPhone components, Greenpeace scientists say they have confirmed the presence of toxic brominated compounds in the phone's antenna. The tests also indicate a mixture of toxic phthalates was found on the plastic coating of the headphone cables, and the device's battery is glued and soldered in the handset.
Scientists say this practice, gluing and soldering, makes it harder to replace the battery and more difficult to separate the iPhone's components for recycling purposes. Environmentalists report that without undergoing the necessary steps, recycling these electrical gadgets is jeopardizing both the environment and the health of those responsible for properly disposing of these products.

| I was just wondering what the hell you're talking about? You just took appart an iphone that i could have used! Jerk! And anyway, I didn't see ANY chemicals. I mean you just pointed out the battery, which you have to say was dumb because your camera has a battery, your car, everything you use... and the antenna, so a wire is hazardous chemiclas? I am really confused... |
