Oh I don’t know . . . the article
does point out that ‘older cars’ are worse than newer, and snopes
didn’t say it was totally false . . . maybe a bit overdramatic!
“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”

It's a really good idea to do your
homework before forwarding unsubstantiated emails to the list. Besides, this
isn't Forward Look related, so it shouldn't be on the list in the first place.

Now
this is very interesting! My car's manual says to roll down the windows
to let out all the hot air before turning on the A/C. WHY ?
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 the 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 its not too late to make some changes
Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!
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's dashboard,
seats, a/c ducts in fact ALL of the plastic objects in your
vehicle, emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin. A BIGCARCINOGEN. Take
the time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car, when you open
it, and BEFORE you start it up.
In
addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and
reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia and
increases the risk of some cancers. It can also cause miscarriages in
pregnant females
Acceptable
Benzene level indoors is: 50mg per sq.ft.
I have received this message before, many times
actually, but it seems important so I send it on to you.
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
theacceptable level.
People
who get into the car, keeping the windows closed, will inevitably inhale, in
quick succession, excessive amounts of the BENZENE toxin
Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidneys and liver.
What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this
toxic stuff from your body
So friends, please open the windows and door of your car
- give it some time for the interior to air out -(dispel the deadly stuff)
- before you enter the vehicle

you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with
others.'
