"Is the Claim of Phone Cases Causing Cancer a Rumor or a Real Concern?"

Mobile phones have become a necessary daily necessity and an indispensable communication tool for people. Nowadays, if people don't have a mobile phone, it would be as strange as living on an alien planet, and even primary school students have their beloved mobile phones. With the continuous expansion of the mobile phone market, mobile phone accessories are also very popular. We can see various types of mobile phone cases on the market, which are truly dazzling and varied, allowing people to choose freely. Some mobile phone cases are actually embedded with diamonds, not only making them look beautiful but also fetching a good price. Mobile phones are carried around all the time. To make this "pet" look even prettier, people dress them up with cases. The merchants who make mobile phone cases work really hard. No matter what model your phone is, whether it's big, small, flat, or square, you can always choose a case that suits your phone from a myriad of options. On the one hand, we choose mobile phone cases to make our phones look prettier; on the other hand, to prevent damage to our phones, and also to extend their lifespan and avoid excessive wear and tear. However, recently, information about mobile phone cases causing cancer has been spreading online, making it difficult for people to distinguish between truth and falsehood. I cannot judge whether this is a rumor or a real crisis. In fact, I believe it's better to believe in what it possesses than to disbelieve what it lacks. Products like these, which are both usable and unnecessary, are rarely used. There is a phenomenon where rooms stacked with mobile phone cases are even devoid of cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes. Generally speaking, warehouses are located in rooms with relatively low floors. Furthermore, these small insects are most likely to breed in places where clutter is piled up. Why is it so difficult for such small creatures to survive in such warehouses? In fact, friends with some common sense will have this feeling that new mobile phone cases emit a pungent smell. It's just that many times, we don't pay much attention to it. In reality, mobile phone cases contain a chemical substance called "benzene," which is a carcinogen. The survival rate of mosquitoes, cockroaches, and other insects in such an environment is zero. All of them are killed by the carcinogens contained therein. It's truly terrifying. It is said that the bosses who sell mobile phone cases don't use them themselves because they are aware of their harm. Benzene is an ultra-carcinogen. When people answer phone calls, send and receive text messages, and play on WeChat, they naturally come into contact with their mobile phone cases. Then, these carcinogens enter the human body through respiration, and the higher the temperature, the more they are absorbed. If it doesn't harm the body, then how do we explain the inability of these small animals to survive? In fact, the disaster lies not in the mobile phone case itself but in people's minds. To achieve greater profits and better sales, some illegal merchants add a large number of additives to mobile phone cases, which are harmful to the human body. Even environmental engineering experts believe that processing and raw materials can lead to carcinogens, especially when the reaction between plastic additives and polymers is incomplete. Many mobile phone cases are produced in underground factories without inspection standards and poor quality control. According to a mobile phone case manufacturer, in addition to halogens and benzene, dibasic lead phthalate in plastic products and diphenyl adipate (both branched and linear) pentyl esters in plasticizers are all carcinogens. Moreover, various mobile phone cases require the addition of colorants, color masters, black pigments, etc., due to their different colors, and these substances have an impact on humans. Mobile phone cases are usable items, but it is recommended that you avoid using them. People cannot go without clothes, but mobile phones don't need clothes. For the sake of your health, stay away from mobile phone cases of all colors and be cautious.
