London, UK (PRWEB) January
18, 2007 Mobile mad Brits are in for a
shock thanks to new research
published today which reveals
that there's actually more filth
on our phones than the
average loo. Mobile phone retailer Dial-a-
Phone conducted the study
taking swabs from everyday
objects and analyzing the
bacteria found on them. The
shocking results found that there's more muck on our
mobiles than the average door
handle, keyboard, and bottom
of a shoe or even a toilet seat. The study found that without
cleaning and disinfecting your
mobile phone and keyboard on
a regular basis, more bacteria
could spread potentially
causing illness. The research confirmed the
presence of skin bacteria
including staphylococcus
aureus on the phone, keyboard,
toilet seat and door handle.
The shoe in contrast had bacteria from the soil and air. Joanne Verran, Professor of
Microbiology at Manchester
Metropolitan University
comments: "Mobile phones, like
many everyday objects such a
telephones and computer keyboards, harbor bacteria.
However, being 'mobile', they
are stored in bags or pockets,
are handled frequently, and
held close to the face. In other
words, they come into contact with more parts of our body
and a wider range of bacteria
than toilet seats!" "The phones contained more
skin bacteria than the any
other object; this could be due
to the fact that this type of
bacteria increases in high
temperatures and our phones are perfect for breeding these
germs as they're kept warm
and cozy in our pockets,
handbags and brief cases.
These bacteria are toxic to
humans, and can cause infections if they have the
opportunity to enter the body." A Dial-a-Phone spokesperson
comments: "We take our
phones everywhere, being in
close contact with our mouths,
hands and faces their bound to
collect all sorts of nasty germs. The images make look scary
but our advice to phone users is
to ensure they clean them
regularly with an antibacterial
wipe!" Dial-a-Phone has supplied mobile phones on monthly contract to 2.9 million
customers, and since it
launched in 2000 over 550,000
customers have connected
from the website. Further

[h=1]Mobile phones 'dirtier than toilet handles'[/h][h=2]Mobile phones are covered with up to 18 times more living bacteria than the flush handle on a men's lavatory, research suggests.[/h]
Swabs and analysis of 30 mobile handsets found that seven had high or warning levels of environmental bacteria, according to consumer group Which?
One contained such an intense concentration of bacteria, including faecal coliforms, that anyone using it could have faced a serious stomach upset.
Which? said the findings suggest millions of UK mobiles would exceed the recommended acceptable levels of bacteria.
While not immediately harmful, elevated levels of bacteria indicate poor hygiene and can act as a breeding ground for more serious germs.
Hygiene expert Jim Francis told Which?: "The levels of potentially harmful bacteria on one mobile were off the scale. That phone needs sterilising."
