Deadly warning about turning on car air conditioning

Open the car windows and doors, ventilate the cabin, and get rid of the "deadly" things before turning on the car's air conditioner.

Why do car owner's manuals always instruct to open the windows to push out all the hot air before turning on the air conditioning?

Don't turn on the air conditioner as soon as you get into the car.

Most of us when getting into the car, the first thing we do is roll up the windows, turn on the air conditioner and then drive out. Day after day, month after month, we keep the same habit. If you do not change the habit of turning on the air conditioner immediately after getting in the car, you have accidentally ignored the "deadly" warnings that need to be avoided.

Please do not turn on the air conditioning immediately after you get into the car. The first thing you do when you get in the car is to open the windows and then a few minutes later, turn on the air conditioning.

Here's why: according to research, the dashboard where the speedometer, oil level gauges, etc. are located in the front of the car, the seats, the air conditioning ducts, in fact all the plastic items in your car, emit Benzene, a carcinogen - the most powerful carcinogen.

You should open the car door to let out toxic gas before turning on the air conditioner.

Notice the smell of hot plastic in your car when you open the door, and before you start the engine. In addition to causing cancer, Benzene is toxic to bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.

Long-term exposure can cause leukemia and increase the risk of some cancers. It can also cause miscarriage in pregnant women.

The “acceptable” indoor Benzene level is 50mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors, with the windows closed, will contain 400-800mg of Benzene, which is 8-16 times the allowable level.

Many serious illnesses will be prevented if you use your car's air conditioner properly, including the risk of cancer.

If parked in the sun, at temperatures above 60 degrees F (equivalent to 16 degrees C), Benzene levels will reach 2,000 - 4,000 mg, or 40 times the allowable level. People entering the car, with the windows closed, will inhale excessive amounts of Benzene toxins.

Benzene is a poison that affects your kidneys and liver. Worse, it is extremely difficult to eliminate this toxic substance from your body.

So, open your car's windows and doors, give the cabin some time to air out and get rid of the "deadly" stuff, before getting in the car./.
