Is the Smell in a New Car Formaldehyde?
1 Answers
New car smell is formaldehyde. Here are the relevant details:1. Material adhesives: Formaldehyde is colorless and odorless, but new cars contain formaldehyde. The peculiar smell in cars generally comes from air pollution inside the vehicle, which mainly originates from various decorative materials throughout the car, such as roof felt, leather seats, plastic materials, etc. These materials commonly use adhesives containing formaldehyde, benzene for coloring, and plastic components may contain formaldehyde. 2. Odor removal: In addition to simply spraying formaldehyde treatment, activated charcoal can also be used by placing several packets and replacing them regularly. If conditions permit, a specialized formaldehyde air purifier can be installed in the car to absorb formaldehyde. The best method is to ventilate the car to remove formaldehyde, reducing the concentration of pollutants inside and allowing harmful gases to dissipate quickly.
