These Guys Maybe Occupants Of Your Car Too! by TRYGO(m): 10:33pm On Dec 07, 2016
INTRODUCTION

The average car owner in Nigeria, especially in the major cities with traffic gridlocks, spend at least three hours driving in their car's Ac system daily.

A city like Lagos, for instance, where there isn't a defined timeline for daily huzzles, a whole lot of people , both in the public and private settings, have turned their cars in to a mini office. This, you can attest to, when you see people driving in their cars, and at the same time, multitasking, or even eating in the car.

Agreed, humans like luxury. But at what cost?

Your car's the most deadliest place where bacteria, molds, and other life threatening diseases accommodate, most especially the car's AC system. They go with you, everywhere you go.

They conglomerate around:
*steering wheels
*gear handles, or knobs,
*seats, door interior handles, and
*underneath the carpets.

These agents like to take you for a ride.
They ensure you get sick occasionally, without knowing where the source of the illness is coming from.

Many car owners, and even Ac technicians assume replacing a car's Ac cabin filter, eliminates the risks of inhaling these dangerous organisms. Some people would even deny such a scenario exists.


HOW DID THESE AGENTS GET IN TO YOUR CAR'S AC SYSTEM IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Bacteria and molds, love to live where there are moistures, and extremely low temperatures. Its a proper breeding ground for them.

These moisture occurs when the Ac system's evaporator core/tubing has some leaks. These leaks, allow moisture droplets onto the car's interior, which subsequently provides an excellent environment for their multiplication.

An efficiently working evaporator, channels these moistures through an exit pipe to the environment. That's why you see vehicles with some kind of moisture dropping underneath the car, when the Ac system is operational.
An evaporator component without this function, has got some faults in it.

SOURCES OF THESE AGENTS:

1. Children dropping crumps in the car. Children love to eat their superbite, and even biscuits in the car. In this process, crumps are dropped, which attracts rats, and also serves as a breeding environment for bacteria and molds.

2. Defecations of rats, pets, and even humans. Rats, just don't cause cause lassa fever, but they are also agents of indoor air quality problems.
A car that's being parked for a long time, would harbour molds, bacteria, and defecations. Putting the car back to service, without carrying out an antibacterial cleaning service, would be a major health risk to you.

3. Clogged and dirty cabin air filters, as a result of trapped particulate matter from the environment.
Replacing a clogged cabin filter, without a corresponding antibacterial cleaning service performed, voids the purpose of your routine cabin filter maintenance.

HEALTH IMPACTS OF POOR CAR INDOOR QUALITY
1. Breathing difficulties. People who are susceptible to some certain type of allergies are more prone to certain diseases when they are in such an environment.
2. Fatigue
3. Frequent headaches
4. Infections
5. Hypersensitivities
6. Allergic reactions
7. Cold symptoms
8. Sinus congestion
9. Pneumonitis
10. Long term ailments
11. Evaporator clogging as a result of bacterial buildup has the potential of reducing the efficiency of your cars AC system. This adds more load on the compressor system.

HOW DO YOU TAKE CARE OF THE IMPACTS?
1. Regular AC system maintenance. Ensure cabin air filters are replaced at regular intervals depending on operating condition of your vehicle

2. Regularly clean the interior of the car, ensuring there are no food crumps left over by kids; animal droppings are taken care of. Also avoid moisture presence in the interiors your car. Interiors of the car should be properly dried, before winding up the door glasses.
Proper detailing of the car's interiors would be a great panacea.
Ensure the car's interiors are vacuum dried, after a visit to a carwash man. This would ensure potential molds and bacteria are denied safe haven.

3. The most effective way of eliminating these agents is to carry out a MIST( air con bacterial removal) service in a reputable automotive company. This service eliminates all the harmful germs residing in all the hotspots of the car. The service is environmentally friendly environment, and of no health risk to you.

Why not reduce the frequent visits to the hospitals because of the recurring decimal of avoidable diseases? You could save tremendous amount of money on such visits, by treating your AC system.
This short piece, could be the solution you've been craving for.

CONCLUSION
Replacing a car's Ac system cabin filter, isn't all there is to Ac system service.
Bacteria and molds would always like to have a ride with you, and even cause more harm than good.
Knowing that those "guys", are actually being entertained by you, scheduling an antibacterial cleaning service would be a step in the right direction.
