Here is another email worth sharing. It tells us not to use our car aircon right away when in our car as this may cause sickness in us such as cancer. Read on to find out more:

Do not turn on A/C immediately as soon as you enter the car!

Please open the windows after you enter your car and do not turn ON the air-conditioning immediately. According to a research done, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emits Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen- take note of the heated plastic smell in your car). In addition to causing cancer, it 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 the 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… & the people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excess amount of the toxins.

It is recommended that you open the windows and door to give time for the interior to air out before you enter. Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver, and is very difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

    This has no basis in fact. It also misinforms on what is an “acceptable” level of benzene exposure.

    I checked it on snopes.com. As the Mythbusters would say, “busted”. Although benzene is a carcinogen and a constituent in both plastics and fuel, auto components don’t off-gas to that extreme. In fact, a Korean study found exposures higher during winter months.

    OSHA’s permissable exposure limit (PEL) for benzene is 1 part per million (PPM) over an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) or 5 PPM in 15 minutes. There is no authoritive basis for the claim 50 mg per sq ft is acceptable. In fact, OSHA‘s TWA converts to 16 mg/cubic meter which equals 4.8 mg/sq ft. Thus 50 mg/sq ft is excessive and is even double OSHA’s short term exposure limit of 24.38 mg/sq ft.

    This is common here in NT, Australia, during summer it gets so hot and the humidity is really high, so car owners fight the heat with car air-con.

    We should also remember that freon leak is also dangerous, that’s why it is advised that we must have our cars checked regularly.
