Please do not turn on A/C on immediately as soon as you enter the car.
Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the air-
conditioning after a couple of minutes.

Here's why: According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air
freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take
time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car). 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. May also cause miscarriage. Acceptable
Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. Ft. 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... People who
get into the car, keeping Windows closed will inevitably inhale, in
quick succession excessive amounts of the toxin. 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.

So friends, please open the windows and door of your car -
give time for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff -
before you enter.
