This is strange and I happen to work at a facility that does a lot of open air helium mass spectrometer leak testing.
I'm and Android user so I have no skin the the game. I'll have to talk to some people at work tomorrow. A few guys are iPhone users and work in direct proximity to the helium leak testing stations or use them as well. I know a woman in the office didn't like her iPhone because of numerous problems but I never thought to press her for details.
Would the helium concentration in air actually get high enough to cause problems? As far as I understand leak testing, you don't need a lot of helium for that to work.
Not much at all but some of the knuckleheads try to speed up the process and crank the pressure until the helium probe is more of a blow gun.
