Scientists have developed a smartphone, a sensor-fitted mobile, which they claim cam also protect people from toxic chemicals.
A team at the US Homeland Security's science and technology directorate has designed the "Cell-All" which aims to equip cellphones with a censor capable of detecting deadly chemicals.
How does it work?
Just as antivirus software bides its time in the background and springs to life when it spies suspicious activity, so Cell-All would regularly sniffs the surrounding air for certain volatile chemical compounds.
