iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S Among Least Toxic Smartphones
iPhone 2G, though, contains the most toxics.

iFixit and HealthyStuff have analyzed the level of toxic chemicals found in 36 mobile phones, with the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S among the least toxic.
The study, which was performed in order to discover what hazardous chemicals are found in popular smartphones, found that modern handsets generally contain fewer harmful chemicals than their predecessors.
Researchers carried out an X-ray fluorescence spectrometric analysis of 36 devices and assigned a rating on a scale of 0 to 5 (lowest being the best), as well as a ranking by chemical, component and "overall."
The process itself consisted of chemical analysis testing for 12 common hazardous chemicals, including bromine, mercury and lead. Component testing, meanwhile, was based on a breakdown by case, screen, solder, circuit board and other significant parts. The final stage of analysis constituted an overall assessment of each device.

Although the iPhone 2G was found to be the least environmentally friendly smartphone, the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 were labelled a "low concern" at 2.69 and 2.75, respectively.
Other smartphones branded environmentally friendly were the LG Remarq, and the Motorola Citrus, in addition to Samsung's Captivate and Evergreen. The device that contained the least toxic chemicals with a score of 2.56 was the Citrus.
However, the report added that major cellphone manufacturers shouldn't "rest on their laurels" as "many toxics remain" in discarded handsets.
"The 'low concern' Samsung Reclaim had a 'high concern' proportion of arsenic. Twenty-four of the phones (nearly 70%) had a 'high concern' proportion of copper," said repair experts iFixit. "There is a trend of less toxics overtime, it looks like—especially for Apple. That’s good, but it’s not good enough."
36 phones was tested, and iPhone wasn't #1, and even was the worst..yet ALL 3 phones mentioned in the title and header was all one brand.
the idea of 36 phones was tested, and 8% of them was iPhone so base the article topic around it seems strange.
Why not just make the topic more blatantly obvious for its intent:
"iPhones was tested for toxicity levels..results inside (oh and 32 other random phones, if anyone would care about them)

It's called Bait-and-switch.
If they had the Citrus and the Remarq in the tittle we will never have been caught reading this article.
I didn't even know that there was a phone called Citrus
Not if it said "Motorola Citrus and LG Remarq Smartphones Are Less Toxic than iPhone 5."
Monsanto's Soy is also extremely toxic and along with their Corn also causes fertility problems in live stock and people.
Or the amount of waste generated to produce the phone!!!
I normally don't help posts like this survive, but this is important. Seed's aren't the only thing this company produces, its true intent is death,and it has been trying to find a way to put that into the world food supply for nearly 50 years. Thanks to deregulation it has finally succeeded. This is the company that brought you DDT and Agent Orange (now considered chemical weapons) and sold them as pesticides. Now it controls the flow of seeds for the worlds food supply. This company's food products have been banned from 27 countries for causing obesity, cancer and sterility. Please educate yourself on this if you haven't already.
You have no idea what's made in China do you? That TV you watch, that phone you put to your head, radio and just about all that plastic junk around your house.
