Nowadays, it seems that practically no one moves anywhere without their mobile phone. However, scientists claim that there are many places where you should not leave your smartphone for a long time, because it can harm your health or your phone. Here are 8 places where it is harmful to drop your phone:
1. Your back pocket.
There are many reasons why you should not carry your smartphone in your back pocket. First of all, it is very easy to forget about your phone, that it is in your back pocket to break it, to lose it or even to dial someone’s number by accident. This could also disrupt your blood circulation, leading to a feeling of pain in your legs or stomach.
2. Your front pocket
This is especially dangerous, especially for men. According to research, the electromagnetic radiation of a smartphone can have a detrimental effect on sperm as a quality. The longer a man keeps his phone in his pants, the greater the damage.
3. Your bra
There is still no 100 percent scientific evidence, but some scientists believe that keeping a smartphone in your bra significantly increases the risk of breast cancer.
4. To your skin
When talking on the phone, try to keep the device at least 0.5 to 1.5 cm from your face. Holding your smartphone close to your face will transfer a lot of nasty bacteria, and your skin will absorb more electromagnetic radiation.
5. Under the pillow
There are many reasons not to leave your phone under the pillow. Radiation can cause dizziness or headaches, and if your screen lights up each time you receive a notification, melatonin production could also disrupt your sleep. If you want a good night’s sleep, leave your smartphone away from the bed!
6. On the thigh
According to scientists, carrying your mobile phone close to your thigh can make your bones significantly more fragile, especially for months or years.
7. In the cart
Young mothers who are in a hurry often leave their mobile phones in prams. However, some scientists believe that this can lead to behavioral problems in young children.
8. On the charger
Leaving your mobile phone to charge overnight will not harm your health, but it will significantly reduce the battery efficiency and life of your phone. If you can’t afford to replace your phone sooner, be sure to turn it off as soon as charging is complete.
