> 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.
>
> Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.
>
> Open the windows after you enter your car and then after a couple of
> minutes, turn ON the AC .
>
> 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 BIG CARCINOGEN. 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 anaemia
> and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure can cause Leukemia and
> increases the risk of some cancers. It can also cause miscarriages in
> pregnant women.
>
> The "acceptable" Benzene level indoors is: 50mg per sq.ft.
>
> A car parked indoors, with windows closed, will contain 400-800 mg of
> Benzene - 8 times the acceptable level.
>
> If parked outdoors in 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 the windows closed, will eventually
> inhale 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.
>
> So friends, please open the windows and doors of your car - give it some
> time for the interior to air out -(dispel the deadly stuff) - before you
> enter the vehicle.

> Thought: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit
> from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'
