No wonder  more folks are dying from cancer than ever before.  We<br />
wonder  where this stuff comes from but here is an example that<br />
explains a  lot of the cancer causing incidents.  Hmmm.  Many people<br />
are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at<br />
night, 7 days a week..   As I read this, it makes me feel  guilty and<br />
ill.  Please pass this on to as many people as  possible. Guess its<br />
not too late to make some  changes<br />
???????????, ??????????, ????????, ??????????, ???????, ??????????,?????????, ??????<br />
Car  A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST  READ!!!<br />
Please  do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the  car.<br />
?????????<br />
Open  the  windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after<br />
a couple of minutes.<br />
??????, ????????<br />
Here&#8217;s  why: ????<br />
According  to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit<br />
Benzene,  a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen  &#8211; take time to observe<br />
the smell of heated plastic in your  car).<br />
???: ?????? ???? ?????????,?????? ,????????????????<br />
In  addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes<br />
anemia and reduces white blood cells.<br />
????????????, ???? ?????<br />
Prolonged  exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of  cancer.<br />
??????????<br />
Can  also cause miscarriage.<br />
?????<br />
`Acceptable  Benzene level indoors is 50m g per sq.ft. A  car parked<br />
indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of  Benzene.<br />
???????????? 50mg , ???????400~ 800m g<br />
If  parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F,<br />
the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable<br />
level.<br />
???????60?,???16????, ???2000~ 4000m g<br />
People  who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably<br />
inhale,  in quick succession, excessive amounts of the  toxin.<br />
?? ???????????????<br />
Benzene  is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What&#8217;s worse,<br />
it is  extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic  stuff.<br />
?????????, ????????????<br />
So  friends, please open the windows and door of your car &#8211; give time<br />
for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff &#8211; before you  enter.<br />
???????, ??????, ????????? ,????????<br />
Thought: ??<br />
&#8216;When  someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from<br />
it,  you have a moral obligation to share it with  others.<br />
&#8216;????????????,?????????????????</p>
<p>It just doesn&#8217;t seem plausible.. If it is true, why have I not heard of it sooner?<br />
<br />http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/benzene.asp</p>
<p>This email&#8217;s been around since around the same time last year.  Rather than summarize what they put, I just pasted the link.  It&#8217;s listed as partially true, partially false, and explains why.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s always a good site to check when you receive something like this.  The main page is www.snopes.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At a given temperature the vapour pressures of pure liquid benzene and toluene are 745 torr and 290 torr respectively, A solution prepared by mixing benzene and toluene obeys Raoult&#8217;s Law. At this temperature the vapour pressure of benzene over a solution in which the mole fraction of benzene is equal to 0.340 is<br />
a- 417 torr<br />
b- 352 torr<br />
c- 98.6 torr<br />
d- 253 torr<br />
e- none of these<br />
<br />Raoult&#8217;s law,<br />
PA = PoA x XA<br />
PB = PoB x XB</p>
<p>Dolton&#8217;s partial pressure law,<br />
PT = PA + PB</p>
<p>PA = 745 X  0.34<br />
Vapour pressure of benzene (PA) = 253.3 torr<br />
The answer is (D)  </p>
<p>PT = ( PoA x XA ) + ( PoB x XA )<br />
PT = (745 x 0.34) + (290 x (1-0.34))<br />

Ouch, cognitive dissonance is giving me a headache..<br />
Do I believe what master tells me, or think for myself?</p>
<p>Mike??  Really!!<br />
H2S:<br />
Long-term, low-level exposure may result in fatigue, loss of appetite, headaches, irritability, poor memory, and dizziness. Chronic exposure to low level H2S (around 2 ppm) has been implicated in increased miscarriage and reproductive health issues among Russian and Finnish wood pulp workers.  2 parts per million is a heavy concentration to you?</p>
<p>Benzene<br />
DNA changes and breaks down at levels as low as 100 parts per billion.  Recorded levels by the EPA are over 3000 parts per billion!  Also, It is a chemical whose long term exposure is exponentially more dangerous than short term exposure pumping gas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At a given temperature the vapor pressure of pure liquid benzene and toluene are 745 torr and 290 torr, respectively. A solution prepared by mixing benzene and toluene obeys Raoult&#8217;s law. At this temperature the vapor pressure of benzene over a solution in which the mole fraction of benzene is equal to .340 is?<br />
<br />according to raoult&#8217;s law<br />
Partial pressure due to a liquid in a mixture is equal to the product of its moles fraction in the liquid and its vapour pressure when it is pure.</p>
<p>Mole fraction of benzene = 0.34<br />
Vapour pressure of pute benzene = 745 torr<br />
Vapour pressure of benzene over the mixture = 0.34 x 745 =  253.3 torr</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ethanol vehicles pose significant risk to health, new study finds (2007)<br />
Ethanol is widely touted as an eco-friendly, clean-burning fuel. But if every vehicle in the United States ran on fuel made primarily from ethanol instead of pure gasoline, the number of respiratory-related deaths and hospitalizations likely would increase, according to a new study by Stanford University atmospheric scientist Mark Z. Jacobson. His findings are published in the April 18 online edition of the journal Environmental Science &amp; Technology (ES&amp;T).<br />
&quot;Ethanol is being promoted as a clean and renewable fuel that will reduce global warming and air pollution,&quot; said Jacobson, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering. &quot;But our results show that a high blend of ethanol poses an equal or greater risk to public health than gasoline, which already causes significant health damage.&quot;<br />
&quot;We found that E85 vehicles reduce atmospheric levels of two carcinogens, benzene and butadiene, but increase two others—formaldehyde and acetaldehyde,&quot; Jacobson said. &quot;As a result, cancer rates for E85 are likely to be similar to those for gasoline. However, in some parts of the country, E85 significantly increased ozone, a prime ingredient of smog.&quot;<br />
Inhaling ozone—even at low levels—can decrease lung capacity, inflame lung tissue, worsen asthma and impair the body&#8217;s immune system, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The World Health Organization estimates that 800,000 people die each year from ozone and other chemicals in smog.<br />
&quot;In our study, E85 increased ozone-related mortalities in the United States by about 200 deaths per year compared to gasoline, with about 120 of those deaths occurring in Los Angeles,&quot; Jacobson said. &quot;These mortality rates represent an increase of about 4 percent in the U.S. and 9 percent in Los Angeles above the projected ozone-related death rates for gasoline-fueled vehicles in 2020.&quot;<br />
E85 is likely to increase the annual number of asthma-related emergency room visits by 770 and the number of respiratory-related hospitalizations by 990,&quot; Jacobson said. &quot;Los Angeles can expect 650 more hospitalizations in 2020, along with 1,200 additional asthma-related emergency visits.&quot;<br />
The deleterious health effects of E85 will be the same, whether the ethanol is made from corn, switchgrass or other plant products, Jacobson noted. &quot;Today, there is a lot of investment in ethanol,&quot; he said. &quot;But we found that using E85 will cause at least as much health damage as gasoline, which already causes about 10,000 U.S. premature deaths annually from ozone and particulate matter. The question is, if we&#8217;re not getting any health benefits, then why continue to promote ethanol and other biofuels?<br />
This ES&amp;T study was partially supported by NASA. </p>
<p>http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2007/april18/ethanol-041807.html</p>
<p>The people who benefit are the people who get the subsidies.  They are the same people that own the politicians.  Which is why we need to get different politicians elected, but it is hard to unseat an incumbent.  Just look at the past election.  We know for a fact that many, many house members should have been ousted because of their failure on the economic crisis but few were replaced.  Everyone seems to believe it was someone else&#8217;s politician to blame not their own.  So, ethanol subsidies will continue, Fannie and Freddie won&#8217;t have to change bad business practices. Acorn will also be subsidized by public money and next election we will have the same fiasco.  </p>
<p>Hopefully the auto industry will be allowed to go into bankrupcy, so they can end their failed business practices.  If we bail them out they will continue to hire and use people who are inferior business people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>today i received 5 warning emails from family saying this:</p>
<p> &quot;. Many people are in their cars 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.  its not too late to make some changes</p>
<p>Car A/C (Air Conditioning)<br />
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.</p>
<p>Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s why:</p>
<p>According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin<br />
(carcinogen &#8211; take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).</p>
<p>In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.</p>
<p>Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.</p>
<p>Can also cause miscarriage.</p>
<p>Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.</p>
<p>Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What&#8217;s worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.</p>
<p>So friends, please open the windows and door of your car &#8211; give time for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff &#8211; before you enter.&quot;</p>
<p>i dont believe this myself and if it is true i doubt its any more dangerous than any other cancer causing agents.</p>
<p>do you know if this is for real or just another hoax?<br />
<br />When in doubt, check Snopes.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t understand how to start this question. Is this Ideal gas law or am I way off?
First you need to know a couple of things:
Water gas is a mixture of CO and H2O.
Benzene is C6H6.  It&#8217;s molecular weight is 78.11 g/mole.

<br />First you need to know a couple of things:<br />

Benzene is C6H6.  It&#8217;s molecular weight is 78.11 g/mole.<br />
So the reaction in question is:<br />
2 C6H6 + 9 O2 = 12 CO + 6 H2O (g)<br />
2 moles benzene produce 12 moles CO and 6 moles H2O, so<br />
1 mole benzene produces 6 moles CO and 3 moles H2O, or a total of 9 moles of gaseous products.<br />
9 moles of gas at STP = 9 (22.4 L) = 201.6 L<br />
Those 9 moles of gas at 1.5 atm and 50 C = 201.6 x (1/1.5) x (323/273) = 159.0 L<br />
So to produce 150 L at that temperature &amp; pressure: 150/159 x 78.11 = 73.69 g benzene</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is important for people to know how dangerous environmental smoke is because it can affect the health of many other people live. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is also called second smoke or passive smoke which is defined as “the smoke you breathe that comes from other people, whether they exhale it or get it from the tobacco burning near you, like the end of a cigarette (side stream smoke).” Environmental tobacco smoke, secondhand smoke, or passive smoke contained over 4000 dangerous chemicals in it such as toxins (poisons) and carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals). Several of these dangerous chemicals are acetone (paint stripper), cyanide (rat poison), DDT (insecticide), ammonia (toilet cleaner), formaldehyde, benzene, vinyl chloride, arsenic and hydrogen cyanide. Non-smokers can get exposed to second-hand smoke everywhere in the public places for instance restaurants, shopping centers, public transportations, workplaces, schools, daycare centers and other places . Therefore, smoking should be banned in all public locations because it makes the public victims of second hand smoke leading to many serious cancers, illnesses and it can also caused many other issues as well. </p>
<p>First of all, I think that smoking should be banned in public places because smoking can affect the environmental health. For example, there are many cigarette butts littering on the ground everyday and many would carrying in the rivers or lakes later by the rain. As a result, these cigarette butts would eaten accidentally by the fishes or other animals that live in the water and would cause them to die. And whatever is left is staying on the ground which would probably takes about twenty-five years to decompose. Therefore, the toxic that remain in cigarette filter would later leak into the soil and contaminating the plants.                                                                    </p>
<p>Second of all, I think smoking should be banned in public places because it can cause bad air pollution. For example, when they are smoking there are many toxic<br />
chemicals that releases from the smoke of tobacco into the air such as tar, nicotine, benzene, benzopyrene, carbon monoxide, ammonia, dimethyinitrosamine, formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide and acrolein. Therefore, the smoke that is coming out of the cigarette is harmful for all the non-smokers when they breathe it in. Based on the studies of secondhand smoke, it shows that air pollution can harm the heart and circulatory system. Also, earlier research found that exposure to the secondhand smoke for just one cigarette a day can speed up the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is defined as “a form of arteriosclerosis characterized by the deposition of atheromatous plaques containing cholesterol and lipids on the innermost layer of the walls of large and medium-sized arteries.”</p>
<p>you have done a great job!!!!<br />
it should be second-hand instead of secondhand<br />
day -care instead of daycare<br />
toxic to be changed as toxins</p>
<p>It is important for people to know how dangerous environmental smoke is because it can affect the health of many other people live.
