A member asked:
Hi i have been driving in a car where there has been an exhaust leak, which mean that small amounts of exhaust gasses have been coming into my car for about six months. do you think this has caused permanent damage to my brain?

Small qy over 6 mont: If you developed any problems most of them should appear by now. Carbon monoxide,benzene, sulfur dioxide and soot are the chemicals commonly in the car exhaust. Carbon monoxide causes disorientation,dizziness, coma,visual disturbance,muscle cramps,seizures etc. You didn't have these symptoms anytime within last 6 months. Benzene causes bone marrow depression, so get ur blood counts checked by PCP
