Would Possible Rubber Tyre Smell Affect The Health Of Children?

default
Posted on Fri, 20 Jul 2018
Question: Hi there.
i am very anxious for the last week ... most pepole i am Exaggerating - but i want to be sure.

we have a used car for the last 4 years.
recently (few weeks ago) we noticed that in side the car there is a faint smell. and its most porbally from the spare tire - due to a small hole in the rear sit. i dont know way the spare tire still smells for so many yars.
the smell was always there but we didn't pay much attention to it because it was a mild odder.

every morning we drove our little baby's in the car (about 30 min each day and 1.5 hour on weekend) for the last 4 years...

all though the smell is very faint it stayed on clothes and hair (smell like sweet dust) until bath in the evening. i am mention it because it worries me we continued breathing it during the rest of the day.

i am afrid of long term effects that i dont even want to write about...

as you may notice i am anxious about it... and hopefully your answer will reassure me...

thanks!
