Can Your Car Give You Cancer? ( Benzene Poisons )

CAR AIR CONDITIONING - VERY IMPORTANT!

My car book says to roll down the windows to let out all the hot air before turning on AC.
                       WHY ?

Car Air Conditioning - 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 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 it’s not too late to make some changes.
                    
Please do NOT turn on AC 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 of driving.
                       
Here's why:   According to research, the car dashboard, seats, air freshener emitBenzene, 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. Can 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.
                       
Thought: 'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have amoral obligation to share it with others.'                       
This is what  snopes.com  says.  It is not the air conditioning in the car but the Benzene producing agents that cause cancer. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/benzene.asp

Can Cell Phones Cause Brain Tumors?

If there's one lifestyle tool that's ubiquitous, from American cities to remote villages of the developing world, it's the mobile phone.

Can they also be deadly?

The frustratingly unresolved debate erupted again this week with the release of a $24 million U.N. study spanning a decade and covering 13 nations that suggests frequent cell phone use may increase the chances of developing rare but deadly form of brain cancer.

Worryingly, since glioma has a potential latency period of a quarter century — longer than cell phones have been in widespread use — even the study's authors say there is no way yet to tell how big the risk is, if there is one.

Experts were nearly unanimous in saying the results of the study are inconclusive. But the fact that it turned up even some evidence of a cancer risk may have profound consequences for a device that people have become accustomed to seeing as extensions of themselves.

From farmers in Africa who rely on cell phones to check crop reports to hedge fund traders obsessively checking Blackberries at trendy restaurants to suburban American kids spending hours calling their friends — people around the world have come to rely on mobile phones as never before.

Cell phones send out radioactive energy in a form that's similar to the one used in microwave ovens, but at very low levels. There is no accepted theory to explain how or if these weak radio waves can affect the body, beyond heating it to a very small degree.

All the same, U.S. and European regulators already limit the energy cell phones can project into the body and today's digital phones radiate less power than the analog phones that dominated in the early '90s. Common advice for those concerned about the radiation is to use a Bluetooth headset, since these emit even less power.

The survey conducted from 2000 to 2010 of almost 13,000 participants — the biggest ever of its kind — found a 40 percent higher incidence of glioma among the top 10 percent of people who used their mobile phone most.
