- Freon gas is compressed and used in vehicle air conditioners to provide coolant via evaporation. Freon gas can cause health problems such as cardiac arrhythmia and, when released into the atmosphere, damage to the ozone layer.
- Benzene is a toxic carcinogenic substance that is emitted by your air conditioner during the first few minutes that it comes on. Prolonged exposure to benzene can cause cancer or anemia, and affects the kidney and liver.
- Trying to repair a broken air conditioner, repair a leak or add coolant materials can expose you to health hazards. Only a trained professional should handle your car air conditioner.
