I'm not thinking of the Obvious.

We fill up with Petrol and breathe Benzine in - a class 1 carcinogen.
Engine oil is a carcinogen
Brake Dust and Gaskets contain asbestos and create asbestos dust.
Interior plastic gives off PCB's and toxins which build up in our bodies.

Any others that you can think of ? Why do we do it ? I don't think any of us would stop using a car because of these facts but surely the risks can be reduced. What do you think? Am I worrying about nothing?
