Lower The Windows Before Switching the Aircon On - Should this be the practice?

[lala31]

thanks for the replies. however, the real reason I'm asking is - have you heard of that case (played/told on the video) re: cancer-causing agents?

I believe the video also told that there are still cancer-causing agents even if not parked under the sun (for e.g., at night). hence, at night, the windows should be open by the time you switch on the AC.

what do you think?

closes the doors on one side to "push" the hot air through the open doors of the opposite side

I would hope that most of us living here in our tropical paradise that is Da Pilipins would and should do this. It's just logical to allow hot air to vent out before using the A/C.

One thing I won't do though is start the car and open the windows. The exhaust gasses will always find their way into the cabin.

Hello everyone, how true is this? (please see the video link below)

It says on the video that windows should be lowered so that the air inside the car (while it was switched off) will go outside. The air that was stored there especially during high temperature is cancer-causing (the mixing of burnt plastics and other chemicals). How true is this?

this is my opinion only.

it is probably true, the carcinogens part.
but as someone above already said, overblown.
you'd probably have to live in the hot car with closed windows, 24/7, for over a decade, to be even remotely cancerized.

The fried food we eat, the sugar-laden drinks and the proteins full of antibiotics will cause more cancer than any hot interior, tama po ba Doc?

"i don't care."
basta masarap.

seriously,
if we think about the potential carcinogenic effect, baka back to cavemen style na tayo. as in, raw, free-range food.

Hahaha, so true. Live and eat what you want, we're all going to die someday anyway.

Besides, who wants to live forever anyway? Not me that's for sure.

ang gastos mo naman sa fossil fuel.
ang galante mo naman sa air pollution.

doc from cold start lang yan at pag hindi ko naparada sa may bubung. Pero ganun talaga ako doc lagi ko baba bintana pag matagal nakaclose.

Ayoko na gawin yung ibaba bintana tapos hindi nakastart engine. Nadiskargahan ako dati pinaglaruan ko kasi. Close open close open. Ang bilis pala makadrain yan.

How to use a hot car (na hindi nakaw):

1. Get in
2. Start the engine
3. Turn on A/C
4. Crack open the windows, drive off, then close them after 15 seconds
