This is a safety & health topic as received and deserves sharing with you with my best wishes to all of you.
This alert was sent to us from the Environmental Department. Please read it thoroughly and adhere to its content.
Open the windows after you enter your car
'In brief: 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. '

Agree with you Balderick..even on our company advertising board some smart A** has posted it.

So the conclusion is that do not beleive in everything you read, do your own research.. Do you think that car manufactures with their multi million reserch facilities would not check?

This item has been discussed before and is only partially accurate and has many mistakes.

1. Bezene cannot leach out indefinately and wil affect new cars more than old cars.

2. Level must be measured in CUBIC feet, not square feet.

3. This text is translated from an Arabic original ... you would need to see the Arabic to get the true story!

Did you Google it first?
