A smoke detecting cell phone

A smoke detecting mobile could help save hundreds of lives, according to two Romanian inventors, Marian Gavrila and Garbriel Patulea, who are in the process of registering the idea internationally with the Canadian Patents Office.

The mobile phone would have a battery with sensors in it that check changes in the atmosphere. The sensors pick up and compare data, alerting the owner if there are any worrying changes, according to the BBC.
