Be aware of the risk of cancer because of air conditioning

Many illnesses will be repelled if you use the air conditioner in your car properly, including the risk of cancer.

This is a serious mistake. Remember to turn on the air conditioner right after you first enter the car and the first thing you need to do when you get into the car is to open the window and then turn on the air conditioner after a few minutes.

Why is that?

It is recommended to open the car door to release toxic gas before turning on the air conditioner

It is known that the "allowed" level of benzene in the house is: 50mg per sq.ft (equivalent to 4.65m 2 ). However, a car parked in the house, with closed windows, will contain 400-800mg of benzene, 8 times the allowable amount.

If parked in the sun, at temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, benzene levels will reach 2,000-4,000 mg, 40 times higher than the safe threshold. Therefore, the person who enters the car when the windows are closed will inhale too much amount of benzene.

Therefore, to avoid the risk of cancer from a beloved car, open a ventilated garage door, dispel toxic gases before turning on the air conditioner.
