Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer, and even miscarriage!
So next time your in your car, open the windows, and wait a few minutes before turning on your AC. 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. 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.
Considering the price of petrol and other fuels these days, conservation is an up-side. Get some fresh air and reduce the risk of cancer.
