[That ‘new car smell’ can increase drivers’
lifetime cancer risk]


[What are the three highest-risk VOCs?

Formaldehyde has many uses, primarily in the production of other chemicals and resins. It is also found in adhesives, disinfectants and some cosmetics such as nail hardening products

Benzene is used as a starting material in the production of a wide range of chemicals required by industrial manufacturing processes. End products include plastics, foams, dyes, detergents, solvents and insecticides. It is also found in cigarette smoke.

Acetaldehyde is used in water treatment products and also found in paints, adhesives and air fresheners

[It may sound like scaremongering
of the highest order, but that much sought
after ‘new car smell’ could increase drivers’
risk of cancer – a risk that grows with higher
temperatures.

A study by Chinese and US researchers
has shown the levels of three carcinogenic volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by the interior
of a new car, known as off-gassing,
far exceed recommended levels,
contributing to incremental
lifetime cancer risk (ILCR)
and ‘indicating a high health risk to drivers’.

The team observed the levels of
20 common VOCs in a new mid-sized hybrid
SUV parked outside for 12 days during sunny,
cloudy and rainy weather.]
