When we get in our car and start the engine, we often, without thinking, turn on the air conditioning and head off to our duties. By doing so, we not only put our own health at risk, but also the health of those around us.
The thing is, when we leave our car outside, we always close the windows. But even when we leave our car in the shade, 400-800 mg of benzene can accumulate in it in one day, writes “Successful Woman”…
If you park your car in the sun, at a temperature higher than 16 degrees, the benzene level reaches 2,000-4,000 mg, which is 40 times higher than the permissible level.
Sitting in a car with the windows closed, people begin to inhale benzene, not knowing that this toxin affects the kidneys, liver, and bone tissue. In addition, it is eliminated from the body very slowly and poorly.
The car’s user manual states that you should open the windows for a few minutes before turning on the air conditioning, but the reason is not explained, there is only a hint that it is a good performance feature of the car.
Medical explanation: Research results show that, before it starts cooling the air, the air conditioner expels all the heated air outside, and with it – benzene, a cancer-causing toxin.
Therefore, when getting into the car, even if you don’t smell the hot plastic, open the windows for a few minutes, then turn on the air conditioning. Do not close the windows for another few minutes while the car is running.
Get into the habit of opening the windows while in the car to prevent your body from becoming saturated with toxins, as the consequences can be very tragic.
