Why is it not allowed to use mobile phones at gas stations?

[DiAthena]

Gas stations prohibit the use of mobile phones due to the risk of explosion and the electromagnetic waves emitted by phones. The following are detailed explanations for these reasons: Explosion risk: When a mobile phone receives or sends signals, it emits electromagnetic waves. A sudden increase in these waves during phone use may cause an ionization reaction with the air around gas stations, which contains a high concentration of gasoline molecules, potentially leading to sparks and explosions. Hence, using mobile phones at gas stations is prohibited. Mobile phones emit electromagnetic waves during use: Particularly when receiving or sending cellular signals or making calls, the intensity of electromagnetic waves can suddenly increase. This can ionize the surrounding air and even generate sparks, which may ignite the flammable gas mixture. Therefore, using mobile phones within the vicinity of gas stations is not allowed.
