Does a New Car Contain Formaldehyde?

[LaBentley]

New cars contain formaldehyde. Additional Information: 1. Formaldehyde is a widely used material, including various paints, plastics, and other products. 2. Many interior materials in cars utilize these substances. While these materials meet emission standards during factory testing, when concentrated within the confined space of a car, the formaldehyde released from various materials causes the concentration to rise continuously. Hence, new cars contain formaldehyde. 3. For formaldehyde inside the car, it is generally recommended to use activated carbon for purification. Some air conditioning filters now come with activated carbon material, which has a good adsorption effect on formaldehyde. However, it's important to note that although activated carbon has strong adsorption capabilities, it cannot directly eliminate formaldehyde. If the temperature is too high or the activated carbon becomes saturated, it may release formaldehyde again. Therefore, every 1 to 3 months, the activated carbon should be taken out, exposed to sunlight, and then reused.
