Car air-conditioning contributes to causes of cancer

According to a research, the dashboard, sofa and air freshener emit Benzene, a cancer-causing toxin. 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, 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.
