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

[BrantleyLee]

Gas stations do not allow the use of mobile phones for the following reasons: Risk of explosion: Since mobile phones emit electromagnetic waves when receiving or transmitting signals, the sudden increase in electromagnetic waves during phone use may cause an ionization reaction with the air around gas stations, which contains numerous gasoline molecules. This can potentially create sparks and lead to an explosion. Therefore, using mobile phones at gas stations is prohibited. Mobile phones generate electromagnetic waves during use: Especially when receiving or transmitting cellular signals or making phone calls, the discharge of electromagnetic waves can suddenly intensify. This can ionize the surrounding air and even produce sparks, which may ignite the mixed gases. Hence, using mobile phones within the vicinity of gas stations is strictly forbidden.
