Smelling Fumes While Sat in Your Vehicle
According to the RAC, pollutants from cars can cause a range of health problems, from allergies and skin irritation to heart disease and respiratory problems such as asthma. Furthermore, according to the World Health Organisation long-term repeated exposure to diesel exhaust fumes may also increase the risk of lung cancer.
A blockage in your exhaust can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Breathing in CO can cause headaches, respiratory problems and even death if inhaled in large quantities. It’s particularly dangerous to children and people suffering from heart disease.
The amount of exhaust fumes people are exposed to varies greatly, but those living in densely-populated urban areas are most at risk of developing health problems linked to pollution.
If you can smell fumes while sat in your vehicle it may be an indication you have a leaky exhaust. Autofit Garage can test your exhaust system for you and repair or replace too give you peace of mind and to help keep you and your passengers safe. We can also carry out emissions testing to ensure your vehicle’s emissions are within the Government’s accepted parameters.
