The article alludes to these chemicals being in fabrics. Does this include leather, not pleather, seats?
Gotta have that neoplasia smell
I love that fresh smell of a car in the morning
I hate cars as much as the next sane person. That being said… Is there anything that doesn’t potentially cause cancer anymore? It makes it hard to take seriously, because if I did then I’d be paranoid about everything and my anxiety would be fucking overwhelming. Seems every day we find something seemingly harmless can cause cancer and it feels almost surreal.
Anxiety is known to the State of California to cause cancer
That’s one of those facts that is made worse by knowing it.
Yet another reason to buy imported cars.
It likely isn’t any different in imported models, flame retardant materials are a very basic and very important safety feature.
Also, it is surprisingly hard to import a car in the US. I’d kill for decent hot hatch that wasn’t $40k.
Adding to this, unless you did the importing yourself, it’s still subject to the exact same regulations. Under the law, Hondas are domestic (made in Ohio). Lexuses (made in Japan) are imported, but have to meet all of the same requirements to be sold en masse. This includes federal (including safety standards) and state (most famously, California fuel efficiency requirements).
Sunshine causes cancer too, and light requirements are sometimes part of zoning codes.
"Morrison, of the firefighters advocacy group, added that “firefighters are concerned that flame retardants contribute to their very high cancer rates.” "
Firefighters union (IAFF) is currently having to sue the governing body (NFPA) to remove carcinogens in the clothes (bunker gear/turnouts) they wear.
Well fuck. I got all the retard and no flame from all the cars over the years. One more for the multitude of things I’ve been exposed to that make me stuoid.
Better roll those windows down
