I also read an article recently showing that benzine levels are very high in closed cars. It went on to say that closed cars on a hot day when temperatures reach 130-140 degrees produces very high levels of benzine from the heating of materials in seats, carpeting and fabrics inside the car especially new cars. Anyone, like a salesman, cabbie or delivery man would be exposed to high levels on an ongoing daily basis.
They recommended to NOT turn on your A/C immediately after getting in your car, but to roll down the windows and let the car "air out" a few minutes before you close it up and turn on the A/C especially if you have the A/C set on recycling inside air (read-set on MAX).
I practically lived in new cars and small pick-ups for 30+ years doing my jobs. I could have inadvertently done this to myself. Scary thought, but who knows.
