Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft.

A car parked indoors with the 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 acceptable level.

According to research done by a U.C., the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener will emit Benzene, a cancer causing toxin (carcinogen).

In addition to causing cancer, it poisons your bones, causes anemia, and reduces white blood cells.

Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. May also cause miscarriage.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver, and is difficult for your body to expel.

It is recommended that you open the windows and door to give time for the interior to air out before you enter.

10 Tips to Prevent Road Traffic Accident

Dear All,

 

Guess most of us will travel back to our hometown today after work. With that regard, as continuity from our Road Safety Syawal Program last week, I would like to share several tips that could prevent road traffic accident thus saving your lives. Do share this with your colleague elsewhere for if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be savedJ

 

1. STAY OUT OF THE FAST LANE. By using the center or right lane on multi-lane roads, drivers have more escape routes should a problem suddenly arise that requires quick lane changes or pulling onto the shoulder. Most highway accidents occur in the right lane. Also, drivers are most conspicuous to law enforcement if they are in the right-hand or "fast" lane.

 

2. KEEP YOUR EYES SCANNING THE AREA AHEAD OF YOU. Good drivers don't just stare at the car ahead. Rather, they watch the traffic in front of that car as well. This increases your chance of seeing a problem while you still have enough time to react to it.

 

3. BEWARE OF BLIND SPOTS. Adjust your side and rearview mirrors to provide one "seamless panoramic scene of the view behind you,". But don't rely solely on them. You should also look directly into the lanes beside you to avoid overlooking something left undetected by the mirrors. Consider, too, the potential blind spots affecting other drivers around you, especially heavy vehicle.

 

4. GET 'RACECAR DRIVER CONTROL' OF THE WHEEL. The idea here is to maintain control of the wheel by moving your seat close enough to the steering wheel so that, with your arm outstretched and your back against the seat, your wrist could rest on the top of the wheel. This ensures that your arms won't tire easily and it puts you in the best position to manage last-minute evasive maneuvers.

 

5. PLACE YOUR HANDS AT 9 AND 3. "Instead of the lazy, typical way people drive" with one hand at 12 o'clock or both hands at the bottom of the steering wheel, use the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, the editors say. This leads to better vehicle control, especially if you are forced into quick maneuvering to avoid a potential crash.

 

6. JUDGE DRIVERS BY THEIR CARS. Cars with body damage or dirty windows could be indicative of an inattentive driver behind the wheel. Also, a car that is drifting in its lane may mean the driver is tired, drunk, or on the phone. Steer clear.

 

7. KNOW YOUR VEHICLE. Get in touch with your inner car. Pay attention to how it reacts in certain situations. Become familiar with the limits of your brakes and tires. How long does it take to stop when you apply maximum pressure? How much grip do your tires have? If you replaced your car's original tires with a cheap set, it's likely that you're reducing braking and handling capability.
