When it comes to purchasing a cell phone there are many things to consider; such as, price, features, and functionality. Would you ever consider one phone over another based on it’s amount of toxins? Although all cell phones contain some amount of chemical hazards, some are less toxic than others. As seen here, in this article from Groovy Green Livin.

We have an ongoing debate in our house about which mobile phone is best. One of us is a Samsung believer and the other is an iPhone devotee. To help us find some closure the Ecology Center and ifixit.com teamed up to research toxic chemicals in 36 different cell phones, including the iPhone 5 and Samsung’s Galaxy S III. The results were released atHealthyStuff.org.
The study found that the iPhone 5 prevailed-coming in as the 5th safest phone, versus the Samsung Galaxy S III, which ranked 9th.
The Motorola Citrus ranked the least toxic phone followed by the iPhone 4 S and the LG Remarq. The most toxic phone tested was the iPhone 2G.
