Exposing Dangers in Automobiles
All of the political powers that be are focused on the chemicals that the vehicles of today put out into the environment. However, no one has made that much of a fuss over the dangers that are inherent in every vehicle that is manufactured today. This may be because people simply do not know about it in great enough numbers, but the scientific evidence is most definitely there.
Experiments in the United States and in Europe have all come to the same conclusion – the real dangers of vehicles are some parts and inside of the cars, not in what comes out of them. If you have become privy to the following situations, then you must take great precautions to try to remedy them before you drive again.
Many in older vehicles, asbestos was used and still around in car manufacturers. It was used in different automobile parts like brake pads, gaskets, drums, clutches, hood liners, etc. Asbestos exposure can lead to an aggressive disease called mesothelioma.
The chemicals that car manufacturers put inside of the plastics that comprise your armrests, door handles, dashboard, seat covers, and sometimes even your gear shifts, are filled with the same chemicals that plastic manufacturers put in their products in order to affect their textures and hardness and flexibility. The difference is that those plastic products cannot be ingested into the body. However, that dust on your dashboard and on the underside of your windshield can cause these chemicals to be ingested into your body and can cause a great deal of short-term pain as well as long-term, completely incurable health situations.
These health problems from the over exposure to these chemicals that are used in dangerous plastics include asthma, gastrointestinal problems, liver problems, and many others. All of these different conditions have no known cure, which means that you can reduce your quality of life immensely if you do not keep the inside of your car clean at all times.
Also, another phenomenon that many people are not aware of – that new car smell is really a conglomeration of chemicals that is very dangerous to your health. One of the chemicals that is in that 'new car smell' is Benzene. So if you're going to buy a new car, make completely sure that you roll with the windows down until that new car smell leaves the car.
On top of that, every time you pop the hood of your car or go under your car in order to do some sort of maintenance, you should most definitely have a gas mask. These same chemicals that are inside a car on the plastics and in the dust can also show up under the hood and under the car.
