Getting into your car and immediately turning on the AC could kill you
According to research, the
car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin
(carcinogen). Have you ever noticed the smell of heated plastic in your car?
In addition to causing
cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anaemia and reduces white blood
cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukaemia, increasing the risk of cancer. May also cause miscarriage.
Acceptable Benzene level
indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with
windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene. If parked outdoors under the
sun at a temperature above 16 degrees C (60 degrees F), the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000
mg, 40 times the acceptable level…
People who get into the car,
keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession excessive amounts
of the toxin.
Benzene is a toxin that
affects your kidney and liver. What’s worse, it is extremely difficult for your
body to expel this toxic stuff. So friends, please open the windows and door of
your car – give time for interior to air out – dispel the deadly stuff – before
you enter.
As a precaution:
Open the windows after you enter your car, then wait a couple of minutes before you turn ON the air-conditioning.
