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.
