    Car A/C

    CAR AIRCONDITIONING - VERY IMPORTANT!

    My car book says to roll down the windows to let out all the hot air before turning on A/C.

    WHY ?

    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.

    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 it’s not too late to make some changes.

    Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.

    Open the windows after you enter your car and then turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.

    Here's why: According to research, the car dashboard, seats, 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 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.'

    This
    is what snopes.com says. It is not the air conditioning in the car but the Benzene producing agents that cause cancer. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/benzene.asp

    Don't panic over this one. I copied this from the snopes link in the post.


    The study found that traveling by automobile increased exposure to a number of deleterious compounds, including benzene, but the primary factor in this regard was the fuel used by the vehicles, not internal components such as dashboards.

    The study found that benzene levels were higher in older cars than newer cars, which suggests that the primary factor in automobile benzene levels is not associated with the "new car smell" emitted by components such as dashboards and upholstery.

    The study found that exposure levels were significantly higher during the winter months, which suggests that automobile air conditioning use is not a major factor in benzene exposure.

    it also helps your cars to cool the air by releasing the built up heated air in the car.
    A.C. cools by recirculating the air in your vehicle.
    If it's super heated air from having your windows closed all day in
    the sun it puts and extra load on the system to cool the car!
    Drive a mile? with windows open to pre-cool the air then turn on the A.C.
    If?? 60 is over the hill I'm happppyy to be over the hill and not under it !!

    If I keep the windows up, is inhaling the benzene a free way to get high??
