“The cars we use every day between our homes and workplaces put us at risk of cancer!” We wanted to start our news with the slogan. You have seen this and many similar news as “fake news” on social media platforms. However, what we will tell you today is based on a report put forward by the American Chemical Society (ACS). Here are the cancer dangers in automobile upholstery and its details.
American Chemical Society (ACS): Car upholstery is dangerous!
Driving a car, or rather using all motor vehicles in general, brings with it a certain amount of risk. These risks include accident, injury, disability, etc. We can count the situations. However, if we added the issue of getting cancer, I think we would be exaggerating a bit. The American Chemical Society (ACS) published a study on the subject.
When we look at the results of the research, we see that automobile upholstery puts us at risk of cancer every day. Accordingly, the substances used by automobile brands to prevent fires in vehicle cabins cause cancer. These substances are generally applied to automobile upholstery during painting and prevent the seats and carpets from catching fire in case of fire inside the vehicle.
Both caravan and minibus: The new Volkswagen California has been introduced!
Volkswagen California, Volkswagen’s most suitable vehicle for nature, has been renewed. Here is the new Volkswagen California caravan.
A different aspect of these substances, which are actually very beneficial for driving and life safety, has been discovered. When the substances in question are exposed to excessive heat, they emit a gas that tends to cause cancer inside the vehicle. Breathing this gas is very harmful and dangerous. The research was conducted with 155 car users with 2015 and newer models.
To avoid any errors in the test results, 101 tests were performed in winter and 54 in summer. The harmful substance in question, tris (1-chloro-isopropyl) phosphate, known as TCIPP, was found in 99 percent of the vehicles. In addition to the benefits of this gas, which releases 0.2 to 11,600 nanograms of harmful substances per gram into the air, it is useful to consider its carcinogenic effect.
The only precaution that can be taken regarding this issue is to ventilate the vehicle interior frequently. So what do you think about this issue? Don’t forget to express your opinions in the comments section…
