The Greenpeace organization conducted international scientific tests of the environmental friendliness of the iPhone communicator Apple. It turned out that the device sold in the United States contains dangerous chemicals that lead, including impotence, the Greenpeace website says.
The reason for the research was that since the release of the iPhone, not a single certificate confirming the environmental purity of the apparatus has been issued. Scientists have found hazardous substances in the iPhone components, which other mobile phone producers have long abandoned.
The test results showed that some iPhone components contain toxic brominated compounds (BFR) and dangerous PVC connections. Dangerous substances were found in the antenna of the device and in the coating of headphones.
According to researchers, the dangerous substances contained in the iPhone disrupt the reproductive function of a person. In Europe, these substances are not prohibited, but for a long time they are not used in the production of toys, electronics and other goods.
