Comments on: Can Air Con Fumes In Hot Cars Cause Cancer? https://www.greenprophet.com/2012/07/ac-fumes-cancer/ Sustainably Driven. Future Ready.

The Snopes article claims that all this is FALSE, but the author of this piece makes up an opinion and attributes it to that site.
And still, it links to an urbanlegends.about.com that also claims this is false and a Cancer.org MD that also refutes the claims in the mail. And references the ACS statement about benzene in general but the author links it specifically to “Benzene emmissions of cars”.

All the articles concurr that a parked car does not emit dangerous amounts of benzene, not from the dashboard and not even from older cars.

And yet, after all those negations, the author still recommends rolling down the windows just to be “on the safe side”

This is quackerty. Pure scaremonging.
