Welcome back to Myths and Mysteries! Today, we'll be debunking the myth that using a cell phone at a gas station can cause an explosion. This myth has been around for years, but is there any truth to it?

The idea behind this myth is that the radio waves emitted by cell phones can create a spark that ignites gasoline vapors, causing an explosion. However, there has been no evidence to support this claim.

In fact, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has conducted multiple tests and studies on this topic, and found no evidence that cell phones can ignite gasoline vapors. Gas stations have multiple safety measures in place, including grounded metal components and sensors that detect even the slightest gas leak or vapor.

So, while it's always a good idea to exercise caution around flammable materials, using your cell phone at a gas station is not likely to cause an explosion. Don't let this myth stop you from making that important call or checking your messages.

That's it for today's episode. Thank you for watching, and don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more myths and mysteries!
