In this extreme heatwave we in Texas are experiencing - here's some valuable information I think you ought to read. It's one area that the general public should be told about because of the the massive cancer issues in America! It's just another one of the side effects in our modern world.
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 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 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.'
