Do you turn on the car AC as soon as you get in? If yes, then be cautious because it could be hazardous to your health. If your car has been parked in the sun and you switch on the AC immediately, it can be even more harmful. Therefore, precautions should be taken when using the car's air conditioning. Here’s a look at how this negligence can seriously affect your health.
Risks of Turning on the Car AC Immediately
1. Danger to the Lungs According to health experts, you shouldn't turn on the AC as soon as you get into the car, as it can lead to serious harm. The car's temperature is often much higher than our body's regular temperature, which can cause dryness issues. If you have a dust allergy, it can have severe effects.
2. Allergy Issues You shouldn’t turn on the AC in a car at normal temperature immediately. Experts state that AC vents are not regularly cleaned, and as soon as they are turned on, dust starts spreading, which can enter our bodies. This can cause sneezing, allergies, or dryness. Prolonged exposure can lead to asthma or other respiratory diseases.
3. Life-Threatening Risks Several studies have shown that sitting in a car with the AC on immediately can be extremely dangerous. When we turn on the AC in a car, we usually close the windows, and during this time, the AC releases benzene gas, which can adversely affect health. Most parts of a car are made of plastic or fiber, which release this gas when heated. This is why you should open the windows first when you get into a car. If a car has been parked in the sun for a long time, always open the windows; otherwise, the gas inside can sometimes be fatal.
