Please open the windows after you enter your car and do not turn ON the air-conditioning immediately. According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa and air freshener emit benzene, a cancer causing toxin (carcinogen).
Take note of the heated plastic smell in your car. In addition to causing cancer, it poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduce white blood cells.
Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer may also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors 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 more than the acceptable level and the people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excess amount of the toxins.

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

Benzene is toxin that affects your kidney and is very difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.
