How about a guide on using toxic chemicals found in electronics? Not all of us can get SN, but we're all using phones and/or computers, so we have access to those.
Is it possible to ctb by eating parts of a smartphone or computer? Can televisions be toxic?
Batteries?
The Mercury in thermometers?
Any creative uncommon methods thread already in existence I'm unaware of?
The following is from Google. Certainly with so much toxicity in the phones and computers, a clever person could make a poison out of one.
Mobile phones contain various toxic chemicals, including heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium, as well as brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and other hazardous substances, which can pose environmental and health risks if not handled properly.
Here's a more detailed look at the toxic chemicals found in phones and their potential impacts:
Common Toxic Chemicals in Phones:
Heavy Metals:
Lead: Found in circuit boards, batteries, and as a stabilizer in PVC products, lead exposure can damage the reproductive, blood, and nervous systems.
Mercury: Used in batteries, crystal displays, and circuit boards, mercury exposure can lead to brain and kidney damage.
Cadmium: Found in batteries, cadmium is associated with deficits in cognition, learning, behavior, and neuromotor skills in children, and has also been linked to kidney damage.
Arsenic: Found in microchips, arsenic poisoning can be lethal in high doses, and low-level exposure can negatively impact skin, liver, nervous, and respiratory systems.
Beryllium: Used in some components, beryllium exposure can cause lung and skin problems.
Other Hazardous Chemicals:
Brominated Flame Retardants (BFRs): Used in plastics and other materials to reduce flammability, BFRs are associated with cognitive and developmental deficits.
Chlorine: A component of plastics used in cell phones, specifically polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Organophosphate Esters (OPEs): Used as replacements for banned flame retardants, OPEs are also found in electronic devices.
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs): A type of brominated flame retardant that can accumulate in the environment and bioaccumulate in the food chain.
New Brominated Flame Retardants (NBFRs): Similar to PBDEs, NBFRs are also used as flame retardants and can be found in electronic devices.
Organophosphate Esters (OPEs): Used as replacements for banned flame retardants, OPEs are also found in electronic devices.
Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs): These chemicals are found in plastic protective cases and can be toxic.
Potential Health and Environmental Impacts:
Health:
Exposure to these chemicals can lead to various health problems, including developmental issues, neurological damage, and increased risk of certain cancers.
