Why is there an odor inside the new Buick Regal?
1 Answers
Generally, the odor inside a new car mainly comes from soundproofing cotton, vibration damping pads, and interior materials. It is recommended to open the windows more often for ventilation and place bamboo charcoal bags or deodorizers inside the car to effectively eliminate the odor. Extensive use of plastics in the interior: The car interior extensively uses materials such as plastics and rubber. The organic solvents and additives in these materials gradually release into the car environment during use. This is one of the main causes of the odor inside the car, especially in new cars. The odor primarily comes from the paint, adhesives, and other materials used in the car's seats, seat cushions, floor mats, and interior. The harmful gases produced include formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene, and TVOC, which are unavoidable issues in new cars. Ventilation by opening windows: During daily use, especially for new cars, it is advisable to develop the habit of opening the doors and windows before driving to allow circulating air to dilute and disperse the toxic gases inside the cabin. While driving, try to open the windows as much as possible to let the wind blow away the toxic gases, which also helps quickly remove the odor from the new car. Additionally, activated charcoal can be used to eliminate the odor.
