Domestic Use Of Mobile Phones by sammer4life(m): 1:48am On Jul 07, 2016 |
Kindly oblige me. I don't know the right section to post this. Is it harmful / dangerous to use your phone near your cooking gas or near your generator, maybe to check something. We all know that our phone torch has always been our saving grace in this time of national blackout. But I am wondering, if we are told to switch off our in and around fuel stations because fuel and gas are highly combustible, is it advisable to use the same phone when cooking or near our generators ? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Please don't use your phone near a generator, my dad lost his sale boy in the act. He went to power our generator with his Nokia torch light, as he was about switching it on, his phone rang and that was how he was burnt beyond recognition. I don't know about the cooking gas but we got to be careful on where we use our phone. My 2cent 31 Likes 3 Shares |

To start with, it is theoretically possible to set off a petrol fire with a phone. The amount of energy needed for a spark to ignite petrol vapour is 0.2 mJ, which is roughly one five-millionth of the energy stored in a fully-charged phone battery. The difficulty is that the phone is not designed to make sparks. The lithium battery could explode while charging if its internal regulator circuit was very faulty. But you don't normally simultaneously charge and talk on your mobile phone while refuelling your car. The internal electronics of the phone could fail and make a spark - but the spark would be too small. And why worry about the phone battery when you have batteries in your iPod, CD player, mini-torch, and yes, don't forget the big 15 kg car battery that powers the electrics of your car? Well, what about the electric field put out by your phone? Yes, the electric field has been measured at 2-5 volts/meter, and has been known to interfere with heart monitors and infant incubators in hospitals, and various electronic equipment in planes. But the electric field from a mobile phone has never been known to set off a fire in a petrol station. And consider that in the UK , some 200 Shell petrol stations have mobile phone towers in the tall petrol price indicators, which stand right there on the forecourt, a few metres from the petrol pumps. The towers put out a lot more grunt than your small mobile phone. So what did set off those 243 petrol station fires? Most of the time, static electricity was the culprit. We've all seen or felt a spark from clothing. If you are wearing synthetic clothes in the dryness of winter, and are sliding in and out of the car, across the synthetic material of the car seat, then you can build up a big static charge. Then, if the earthing wire on the petrol hose is broken, when you touch the metal nozzle of the petrol hose to the metal neck of the petrol tank, you can discharge a visible spark. Even more dangerous, from the static electricity point-of-view, is filling up a small fuel drum. The phone companies post warnings about using phones in petrol stations for two reasons. First, mobile phones are not designed with “Intrinsic Safety” to make them able to operate safely in truly hazardous inflammable vapour situations, and second, fear of legal liability, despite all the evidence showing that mobile phones don't cause fires in petrol stations. So overall, the mobile phone myth is just endless chatter generating a whole lot of static. 37 Likes 3 Shares |

It depends on what you are doing with the phone at that moment....Its wrong when you answer calls besides anything explosive thats why you are advised to switch your phone off at the gas station 1 Like 1 Share |

Thanks op Since it is advised to switch off our phones in filling stations. Then I will say it is advisable to not use ur phones near gas, petrol and even kerosene. Thanks God bless Nigeria God bless Me #HaydeeyWasHere |

actually I don't think its good for both...besides gas is more disastrous than petrol..but when situation warrants you to do.. you gotta be extra careful and 3steps behind |
Re: Domestic Use Of Mobile Phones by ANBAKO: 2:17pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
It is not safe using mobile phones in a potentially explosive environment. Where there is presence of gaseous fuel, fuel vapour etc. This is because our phones generate mini sparks when they are in operation which can ignite these fuels. It just like saying "no smoking" in a gas (petrol) station. Do good for good to come your way |

Re: Domestic Use Of Mobile Phones by alexiej(m): 2:19pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
sammer4life: It's not advisable at all. I've heard of at least a case where someone got burnt after his gen caught fire cos he was trying to refuel with his phone flashlight. I dnt know about gas, I heard there are mini mini sparks in phones that could ignite when placed by such highly inflammable materials as petrol. I think gas shld also be as risky. |
