It is difficult to find a person who does not have a cell phone nowadays. And the number of mobile phone users worldwide is growing! We are attached to them and we constantly hold them in our hands. We take them with us everywhere, even in the shower and in bed. However, keeping your phone in some places can be dangerous for both your device and your health.
We have created a list of 10 places where you should not store your mobile phone. Read at the end of the article why it is best not to charge your phone near the bed.
1. Back pants pocket
It is definitely very comfortable to carry your phone in the back pocket of your pants. But choosing this place can cause the following problems:
- Phones have touch screens and respond to more than just the fingers. For this reason, it is very easy to call an emergency number and not even know it. 30% of calls to 100 are random.
- Do you often feel pain in your stomach and legs? This can also be a consequence of the phone in your pocket.
- It is also easy to forget the phone and break it or lose it.
2. Front pocket
Men do not carry bags, so it is more convenient for them to put their phone in the front pocket. But this habit can cause some complications because of it. Studies have shown that the electromagnetic radiation of a telephone negatively affects the quality and quantity of sperm. The longer a person holds their cell phone in their pants, the greater the risk.
3. Bra
In medicine, there is still no consensus on whether cell phone radiation causes cancer. But according to some scientists, a phone in the bra increases the risk of breast cancer. Therefore, it is better not to put it there.
4. On your hip
According to research, carrying your phone near your thigh weakens your hip bones. So take care of your bones and place the device in a bag.
5. On your skin
Do not hold your mobile phone on your skin. When you do this, the bacteria from the screen and the phone keys are transferred to the skin of your face and the electromagnetic radiation comes even closer. But how can we talk on the phone? Leave at least 0,5-1,5 cm between the device and your skin.
6. In the charger
No, charging the phone does not harm your health (except for electromagnetic radiation if you are nearby). But it is better not to let your cell phone charge all night. This may shorten the battery life of the phone and reduce battery performance.
7. Cold places
If it is cold outside and the temperature is below zero, take care of your phone. Do not leave it on the road or in the car for a long time. The temperature difference is very harmful for gadgets. When you return your device to a hot place, liquefaction occurs and this can lead to problems with the internal details of the phone. If you often go out during the cold winter months, buy a "warm" phone case.
8. Warm places
High temperatures are also harmful to electronic devices. When the weather is hot, it is not recommended to leave your phone in the car or on the beach. It is also best not to store it next to the oven.
9. Trolley
Moms often put their phone in the stroller. Some researchers argue that this is not safe. The impact of cell phones on children can be the cause of some behavioral problems such as hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder.
10. Under your pillow
Do not put your phone under your pillow. There are several reasons for this:
- At night, alerts often appear, making the screen glow. Exogenous light affects the production of melatonin. All this leads to problems with sleep, which is very important for the body.
- For long periods of time, electromagnetic radiation causes headaches and dizziness.
- There have been cases of telephone explosions and fires. When you cover your phone with a pillow, you increase the chances of doing so. A phone emits heat when charging and the heat will not escape under the fabric of a pillow. It is best to charge it away from you, your bed and other people.
