Perhaps many people are not aware that the unique aroma of the cabin of the car turned out to be poisonous and dangerous.
This is according to the research of Jeff Gearhart, the Research Director of the Ecology Center in Michigan, USA, which examines the dangers of a new car aroma.
According to Jeff, if we spent too much time in the cabin of a new car is very dangerous. The reason is none other than because of their toxicity derived from chemicals in adhesives, rubber, plastic and fabric used for automobile construction.
And these materials contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and some harmful compounds such as benzene, formaldehyde, toluene, and also heavy metals that can trigger a sore throat, dizziness, allergies, nausea, and headaches.
In fact, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency that the exposure of the chemical compound may cause hormonal disorders, liver damage, infertility, kidney and even central nervous system disorders. And the worst is it triggering cancer.
Ecology Center has been testing the chemical levels in a cabin and monitors it for many years, and the good news is they get some improvement in the process.
There are more than 200 chemical compounds on the vehicle because these are chemical materials, many consumers do not know the danger that they're currently experiencing.
Then, there is the air conditioning, when we turned on the air conditioner, and we stay some time in the car because we're going somewhere, this situation will cause a bad air circulation and it's not good for our body.
This is then led devote carbon monoxide (CO) in the car. CO is absorbed into our bodies causing oxygen levels in our bodies are reduced, so the hemoglobin's hard to get adequate oxygen supply.
As a result, the body becomes starved of oxygen, including the lungs and brain. The oxygen-starved body will become weak and will eventually lead to death.
One of the areas with the dangerous material is brake linings. Brake linings mostly contain asbestos material.
Asbestos is harmful material that can harm your health, especially the lungs. If someone often inhales the dust from asbestos, the chance of suffering from lung cancer acute is quite high.
And one more important thing is the exhaust fumes from your car. Do not forget to examine the presence of exhaust leakage regularly.
The exhaust leakage will cause the chamber exhaust fumes entered the cabin of your car, and it is very dangerous to your health. The toxic molecules would be exploited and fill your lungs, absorbed, and flows in the blood throughout the body.
Then, it will pollute the organ - particularly vital organs, which is in a long time will lead to numerous diseases. The result could be a short-term and long-term conditions such as fatigue, headache, and shortness of breath. In the long run, the effect will lead to chronic diseases such as lung disease, heart damage, and behavioral changes, as well as cancer.
I hope this short explanation of hazardous materials in your vehicle can be useful for you.
