Why does the new Mazda3 Axela have an odor?

[DelKing]

There is an odor in the new Mazda3 Axela. Sources of the odor: The smell in the car mainly comes from leather, plastic, and adhesives, which definitely contain formaldehyde. Some substances are more harmful than formaldehyde but evaporate quickly, while formaldehyde can take several years or even over a decade to fully dissipate, making it particularly hazardous. Solutions to eliminate the odor: Open all four doors and the trunk, and expose the car to direct sunlight. After a few sessions of sun exposure, the smell will mostly disappear. While driving normally, keep the ventilation on—this method is very effective for removing odors and formaldehyde. Activated charcoal can also help eliminate formaldehyde. Keep plenty of activated charcoal in the new car, and the formaldehyde can be mostly adsorbed.
