Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 have all tested positive for hazardous chemicals

(gamershell) -- Greenpeace today announced the results of an investigation into hazardous materials present in the world’s most popular game consoles: Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360. According to Greenpeace, they have all tested positive for hazardous chemicals. The report reveals that both the Xbox 360 and PS3 contain very high levels of phthalates that are not permitted in components of toys or childcare products sold in the European Union. One of the phthalates, DEHP, is known to interfere with sexual development in mammals – including humans – especially in males. After browsing through the report present on their website, we can only conclude that it is not advisable to eat your sexy PS3, nor wear your hot X360 during winter.
