Title: Roll down the windows BEFORE turning on AC

My car's manual says to roll down the windows to let out all the hot air before turning on the A/C. WHY???

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, many days a week. Please do NOT turn on the 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 A/C.

Here's why:

According to research, the cars dashboard, seats, A/C ducts, in fact ALL of the plastic objects in your vehicle emit BENZENE, a cancer causing toxin -- a big carcinogen.

In addition to causing cancer, benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia 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, or 8 times the acceptable level.

If parked outdoors in the sun, at a temp above 60 F degrees the benzene level goes up to 2000 - 4000 mg.  -- 40 times the acceptable level.  People who get in to the car, keeping the windows closed will eventually inhale excessive amounts of the benzene toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidneys & liver and even worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So, friends, please open the windows and doors of your car and give it some time for the interior to air out and dispel the deadly stuff before you enter the vehicle.

Please pass this on!

So THAT'S  why "new car smell" is so attractive, because it's loaded with carcinogens!
.
The marvelous smell of benzene - the essence of why people stand in line to shell out a premium bundle on carcinogenic new cars!

So that's why Barney always wants his window down?

I had read years ago that most "new" things (houses, cars) had this issue much more than older specimens.

A given piece of upholstery, plastic, etc. has only so much benzene to give in its lifetime, know what I mean? It trails off.

Another blessing of being poor and driving older vehicles, living in homes more than 10 years old, etc. That new smell is NOT something you want.

It's probably not just benzene but a whole cocktail of chemicals. Just think of all the chemicals used in the production of the various things inside a new house or car. When you smell something other than fresh air inside that new car, new house, new furniture, etc. know that those smells aren't natural!

Interesting.
You know there are cans of automobile air freshener spray you can buy at auto parts stores -- they come in different smells, like ocean breeze, pine tree, fresh linen, vanilla, floral perfume, manly man, rugby, or................ NEW CAR.
.
But the new car air freshener never quite smells like a new car.
.
I asked a friend who works at a car dealership about this, and he told me it's an interesting question, but from what he has learned, he said that they do have access to a spray that really does smell like new car, and he said that car dealerships can get such a thing for their own use, but they have to be very careful, because the stuff is not legal to sell to the general public. He said it contains chemicals that are unsafe for general public use, prohibited by state regulations. This is CA.
.
So I asked him if it's unhealthy, why would a dealer spray it in the car? He said, that new cars all have those chemicals already which is why they smell the way they do. So they're not putting anything in the used car that wouldn't be there anyway if it was a new car. But still, they can't sell the cans of spray, due to state law, but they quietly use the stuff and just don't get caught. Besides, it sells cars.
