Prolonged exposure will causeLeukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. Can also cause miscarriage.Acceptable Benzen e level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft.  A car parkedindoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F,the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptablelevel.People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitablyinhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver... What's worse,it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give timefor interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.</p></blockquote><p></p>
