Scented trees in cars are harmful to health - doctors warn!

The well-known scent trees for the car are usually Disposable products, which consist of an absorbent, felt-like cardboard and printed as well as with fragrances are provided.

The synthetic aromas spread quickly in closed rooms. This may sound nice, but there are people who even use such fragrances allergic react. In addition, some of the substances themselves have already proven to be problematic.

Increased cancer risk from scented trees

A regular warning from the professional association of German ENT doctors goes out: Due to the "carcinogenic ingredients", the risk of cancer is in the respiratory tract increased - additional cigarette smoke in the car increases the risk even further. The ENT doctors also warn that the risk of cancer is even multiplied if the driver smokes in the car and has the scent tree dangling from the rearview mirror at the same time. That means: The scent chemicals cause the ingredients of the cigarette smoke to combine with the fine dust particles from the air, then deposit in the body and damage the cells there. That is why it is all the more important that smoking vehicles at least ventilated regularly .

Increasing allergies and intolerances!

The Federal Environment Agency also warns: Most scented trees emit five to twenty times more scents than the federal agency recommends for indoor air. This means that when you have a new scent tree you will find one Overdose exposed to fragrances.

Chemicals like hormones

Product tests by the magazine “Öko-Test” in 2005 showed that 9 out of a total of 18 scent trees tested excessive amounts of fragrances which are harmful to health - regardless of the different fragrances. As a result, many of the products failed the test. Allergy-causing substances like the substance Lyral or polycyclic musk compounds were actually used demonstrated. They also contained the so-called phthalates - chemicals which, in animal experiments, led to damage to the liver and kidneys and which even had the same effect as hormones.
