Mobile Phones
Apocryphal tales abound. As previously mentioned, the main reason for not using mobile phones on forecourts and places such as aircraft is to prevent interference with other electrical systems (it has caused some issues on airliners). The CB radios that lorry drivers use are more likely to cause an explosion. In quarries and mines specialist telephones with carbon fibre bodies (referred to as intrinsically safe) are used to prevent static discharges igniting vapours etc. Although it would be wise to remove anything that emits em energy.
Where mobile phones are concerned, does anyone know if;
a. Anyone has a brain tumour yet from using their Nokia?
b. Any filling stations have exploded?
c. What is the highest score in Pac Man on the Nokia 660?
