Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 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 air-conditioning after a couple of minutes. Here's why: According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, 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. May also cause miscarriage. Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50mg 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 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. Thought: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thank you, Sweet Sandy: We never turn the air-conditioner on in our car, but when it gets hot we do. Here in Canada it is cold in the morning, and we do not need it. I wonder if home air-conditioners are safe, because we have one, and the smell seems toxic at times. It is so nice to be back in this wonderful group. I have missed everyone...sending love always.........Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!
