asked me if I'm willing to post an artikel from his hand
about the danger of Asbestos... of course.
Hidden Dangers In Your Car
Many enthusiasts love having their dream cars that could be
vintage cars. When most people get in their cars, they put their seat belts on
and check their mirrors. Today, many drivers even have rear-view safety cameras
they can consult before operating their vehicle in reverse to make sure their
path is clear. Even though most drivers are aware of and protect against the
expected dangers related to their automobiles, what about the unexpected
dangers? Here, learn about some of the hidden dangers that may be lurking in
your car right now.Older vehicles may be the worst culprit when it comes to the
hidden dangers of automobiles. Though new cars can and do contain toxic
substances, as well, the focus here will be on classic cars. One of the biggest
dangers to be aware of when it comes to classic cars is asbestos. Asbestos
exposure to which can cause a lung disease called mesothelioma, is often found
in the brake systems of older cars such as drum brakes. Though most car
manufacturers have switched to a substitute material by now, asbestos is still
found in many older or classic cars. The only way to know for sure if your
vehicle has asbestos in the brake lines.... is to do your research; contact the
manufacturer directly for the best information regarding your specific make and
model before performing work on your brake system.
Asbestos exposure is widely thought to result in mesothelioma,
but it isn't the only hidden danger in automobiles. Though the pollution that
comes out of our vehicles' exhaust pipes for others to breathe is closely
monitored, what about the pollutants that we may be breathing in inside our own
cars? Benzene is one such potentially harmful substance. Benzene fumes may off-gas
from such benign parts of your car as the dashboard, carpet, steering wheel and
upholstery. For this reason, drivers should air their vehicles out when first
entering them. Before turning on the air or heat systems, drivers are advised
to roll their windows down for a few minutes. This is to prevent the benzene
build-up from being circulated through the air system and, especially in the
case of heating, the toxicity being amplified.
Besides asbestos and benzene, other potentially harmful
substances, such as chlorine, bromine, arsenic and mercury, are also present
inside various cars at varying levels. Over time, the build up of and exposure
to these compounds can lead to health concerns. To get the best information on
your specific vehicle, contact the manufacturer and ask what chemicals may be
present in your car. If you are concerned about how a specific health condition
may be related to your automobile, please consult your physician.

ReplyDeleteFor installing the chip, just find the 28 pin chip marked as “M38256AP-xx” (see the picture bellow). It must be unsoldered and replaced with the 28-pin chip socket, and then the new
ReplyDeletecrx chip for car must be inserted on it. Make sure that you align the chip so pin #1 goes to the same place of the old chip (lower left corner of the chip in the picture bellow). No other parts are needed on these models. After inserting the chip, just put the ecu back together and reinstall it in your car.
