iPhone 5 is basically regarded as green

In the eyes of environmental groups, the importance of the phone innovation features is far less important than whether this phone is green.

HealthyStuff and iFixit has cooperated to study the toxicity of the phone and has made a ranking by dissecting the phone and doing a chemical analysis. This list involves a total of 36 models of mobile phones, when the low toxicity can be ignored, safety while in green, moderate while in yellow, relatively high while in red.

HealthyStuff study found that the iPhone 5 ranked fifth, but the component also contains bromine, lead, mercury, chromium and other harmful substances, and these substances are harmful to the environment and human when phone melting scrap.

This toxicity Ranking list has great reference value. Of course, there still exist a number of toxic substances. Because X-ray fluorescence spectrometer can not scan and reveal all the potentially toxic substances.

Another interesting phenomenon is that, the time more rearward on the phone, the higher of the environmental degree. But it is surprising that iPhone 4S is better than the iPhone 5, the difference is not too big. While Galaxy S III falls behind the Apple, which may become a topic people talk about.

I hope that, after the end-of-life mobile phones, we should not throw them away, but should hand them over to the specialized agencies to deal with.
