Stop using the known carcinogen Benzene in your products.
Stop using the known carcinogen Benzene in your products.
The Issue
I saw the film Who Pays the Price? The Human Cost of Electronics, and I was horrified at how companies such as Apple allow for the categrory 1 carcinogen Benzene to be used in their products. Benzene is banned in most Western countries for industrial use. China makes more than 50% of the world's cell phones and does not have regulation to outlaw the use of Benzene. Apple, being an American company, should not allow for the use of Benzene because of the danger it poses for workers and should take responsibility for the work related health issues the workers go through to make your phone.
