FW: Open your window when you enter your car

Open the windows after you enter your car

In brief, the above article says: According to research done by a U.C., the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener

will emit Benzene, a cancer causing toxin (carcinogen). 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 Benezene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors

with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benezene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature

above 60 degrees F, the Benezene 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 toxin. 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 difficult for your body to expel.
