Is Bubbled Car Film Toxic?
2 Answers
Bubbled car film is toxic. Here is an extended introduction: 1. Specific situation: When car film bubbles, it releases a large amount of formaldehyde. The sealed environment between the car film and the glass is compromised, allowing toxic gases to be released into the car interior. After prolonged exposure to sunlight, the formaldehyde content in the car may increase due to the presence of formaldehyde in floor mats, films, and paint coatings inside the car. Excessive formaldehyde in the car can irritate the human respiratory tract and skin mucous membranes, posing health risks, and in severe cases, may lead to leukemia and cancer. 2. Risk of accidents: Large areas of bubbled car film can obstruct the driver's view, making it difficult to judge objects in front of the vehicle, and may even lead to accidents.
As an ordinary person who has been driving for many years, I do believe that bubbling car window film poses toxicity risks worth paying attention to. I've personally experienced that when the film bubbles, it may release some chemical gases, such as VOCs, and that plastic smell can make people feel dizzy. Especially during the hot summer months, the film is more prone to deteriorate and bubble, and the problem becomes more obvious if you've chosen a cheaper product. An old classmate of mine mentioned that inferior films might contain formaldehyde or other harmful substances, which can be released into the car when the film bubbles, affecting health. So it's important to address the issue promptly and not delay. I suggest first checking the smell of the film, and if there's any unusual odor, go to a professional shop to replace it as soon as possible. When choosing a film, make sure to look for brand certifications and don't cut corners to save time or money. Usually, try to park in shaded areas to reduce film aging. Safety first—this concerns the health of the whole family, so never take it lightly.
