Car airconditioning

No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We
wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that
explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents. Hmmm. Many people
are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at
night, 7 days a week. As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and
ill. Please pass this on to as many people as possible. Guess its not
too late to make some changes

Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!

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 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.

Can 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.

This is a mail received by me,published for public awareness.
