I would really like to see a citation for that!

Group 2B includes coffee, pickled vegetables, titanium dioxide (used in food coloring and sunscreens), and work in carpentry, dry cleaning, printing industry, and textile industry.
I think I'll keep my cell phone. (And coffee and kimchi, for that matter.)
