Mobiles full of bacteria

手機中細菌堪比馬桶？

Mobile phones can harbor 18 times more living bacteria than a flush on a men's toilet, according to research for British consumer group Which?, the UK media reported. A hygiene expert who swabbed and analyzed 30 handsets for the study found 7 had warning or high levels of environmental bacteria. One harbored levels of bacteria, including faecal coliform, high enough to give its user a serious stomach upset.

據英國媒體報道，英國消費者組織Which?的一項調查顯示，手機中所含有的細菌比抽水馬桶一次沖水里所含的細菌數量多18倍。衛生專家對30部手機進行了清潔和分析，7部所含的環境菌數量足以對人體健康構成威脅。其中1部手機中含有糞大腸菌群，數量之多甚至可以引發嚴重的胃病。
