Open the windows after you enter your car
In brief, the above article says: According to research done by a U.C., the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener will emit Benzene, a cancer causing toxin (carcinogen). In addition to causing cancer, it 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 Benezene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benezene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benezene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level. The people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excess amount of the toxin.
It is recommended that you open the windows and door to give time for the interior to air out before you enter. Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver, and is difficult for your body to expel.

Thats what i have been doing since 1997 when i get my first ride every time i go into my car i would unwind down all my windows on aircon and drive for about 1-2 mins b4 i close it....i think we all especially have to take note of new cars which got the new car smell which i think is a concentrated cocktail of toxic plastic and chemical fumes.....also i do not use car perfumes as i think most of it contains artificial fragrances derive from man made chemicals....1 reason i chose latio is also becos of the plasma ion aircon which cleans the air inside our car therefore we can opt not to use car perfumes in our car and still get clean fresh smelling air :thumbsup:

i think charcoal is a good alternative as i know that they can absorb odour and cure diarohea as during my army days i remeber my MO gave me charcoal pills the size of almost 50cents coin for diarohea and man do they work well 1 pill is enough to stop the diarohea :thumbsup:
