» Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.
Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.
Here's why:
» According to a research, the dashboard, sofa and air freshener emit
Benzene, a cancer-causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the
smell of heated plastic in your car). In addition to causing cancer,
Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.
Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer;
can 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 60°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.

time for the deadly interior air to clear out before you enter!
