Car A/C Alert!

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 16:17:09 +0100

Do not turn on A/C immediately as soon as you enter your car!

Open the windows after you enter your car and do not turn on the airconditioning unit immediately.
According to a research conducted recently, car dashboard and car seats emit Benzene. Benzene is carcinogenic. Meaning, it is a cancer-causing agent.

Aside from the fact that it causes cancer, it also poisons the bones, causes anemia, reduces WBC (white blood cells). Prolonged exposure can cause leukemia and may lead to miscarriage. It affects your liver and heart

Acceptable Benzene Level = 50 mg per sq. feet
Car parked with closed windows = 400-800 mg per sq feet
Car parked outdoors under the sun = 2000 to 4000 mg/sq ft

Would you inhale the excess amount of toxin?
I don't think so.

I got this one from my sister who lives in Arkansas.

This sounds like a good idea. Never would have thought.

WHAT TO TAKE TO BED WITH YOU AT NIGHT!

Put your car keys beside your bed at night

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator.

Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your car keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar / rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there.

This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime. Please pass this on even if you've read it before. It's a reminder.
