CANCER FROM YOUR CAR?
Now this is very interesting! My car's manual says to roll down the
windows to let out all the hot air before turning on the A/C. WHY ?
//MOD EDIT: WHY? To let out all the hot air so that the AC has an easier time to cool down the car.
The rest of this post is nothing more than fear-mongering, hidden in pseudo-science. The levels of benzene indicated comes from the petrol in the car which contains benzene and other similat aromatic hydrocarbons, NOT from the AC.
High levels of benzene in the cabin air are usually due to faults in the fuel system, NOT the AC, made worse by keeping the system on RECIRC all the time.

No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We
wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that
explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents.
Many people are in their cars the first thing in the morning, and the last
thing at night, 7 days a week.
As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill. Please pass this on
to as many people as possible. Guess its not too late to make some
changes
Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!! Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.
Open the windows after you enter your car, and then turn ON the AC
after a couple of minutes.
Here's why: According to research, the car's dashboard, seats, a/c ducts in fact ALL of the plastic objects in your vehicle, emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin. A BIG CARCINOGEN. Take the time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car, when you open it, and BEFORE you start it up.
In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes
anemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause
Leukemia and increases the risk of some cancers. It can also cause miscarriages in pregnant females.
Acceptable Benzene level indoors is: 50mg 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 the acceptable level.
People who get into the car, keeping the windows closed, will inevitably
inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the BENZENE toxin.
Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidneys and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff from your body.
