Electronic Toxins in Automobiles

Automobiles contain a variety of toxic substances that can enter your body through your skin and by breathing. Inside of your car, heavy metals and other toxins, including mercury, cesium, cadmium and barium are contained within the electronic components of the vehicle. These toxins are primarily within the microchips and liquid crystal display (LCD) screens found on your dashboard and on accessories such as portable geographic positioning system (GPS) units.
The plastics in your vehicle, which make up your dashboard, console, storage compartments, covering of your steering wheel, and components of your vehicle's carpeting, floor mats and safety belts may contain bisphenol A (BPA), which is an endocrine disruptor that can cause hormonal problems when it enters your bloodstream. The heat of the sun can leach this chemical out of the plastics, as can scratches and dings caused by everyday use.
