Static electricity Petrol Station fires
#3
I wonder if the static is coming from peoples clothing rather than mobile phones, anytime I have got a "zap" it has always come from clothing carpet or some other man made product but never a mobile

Quote:
Between 1993 and 2004, there were 243 reported

incidents of fires breaking out at petrol stations

around the world. None of these incidents occurred

as a result of mobile phones igniting.

According to industry reports, the notion of mobile

phones exploding or igniting at petrol stations was

triggered by a hoax email. Perpetuated by the rise of

the Internet, warnings about the dangers of mobile

phones were in global circulation by the late 1990's.
