New Cars Are Bad For You! Sick Car Syndrome (Part 1)
Contents:
Car owners often eat in their car, not to mention the interior is a small enclosed area that is seldom cleaned. The AC, though, is what is really causing sick car syndrome.
Is your Car Making you Sick? Signs and Symptoms of Sick Car Syndrome
When you run the air conditioner, condensation forms in the evaporator. The accumulated moisture encourages mold growth. The air eventually blows some of that mold and microbes into the cabin where they rest on the upholstery, dashboard, etc.
Your car is likely infested with germs if you notice any of these symptoms during a commute:. We also recommend a professional interior restoration. This includes a full cleaning and shampooing of the seats using a solution that kills bacteria on contact.
The small town of Wenatchee, Washington, is at the center of a virtual gold rush — whether residents like it or not. Quadruple amputee beats the odds to walk down the aisle. Lead specifically contributes to lower IQ, arthritis, gout, hypothyroid, insomnia, stillbirths and many other health problems. Some people think it smells like leather, but only luxury car interiors contain much in the way of actual leather and new car smell can even be found in economy cars. Most people like it and some people like it so much that they buy new-car-smell sprays and air fresheners that make the interiors of their cars smell new until they're old enough to be towed off to the junkyard.
We recommend an interior detail as part of a wash and wax. Sick car syndrome is real and can compromise your health.
A two-year study [6] released in by the CSIRO in Australia found several health problems associated with these chemicals. CSIRO research scientist, Dr Stephen Brown, reported anecdotal accounts of disorientation , headache , and irritation in some drivers of new cars. He measured pollutant levels in new cars that were sufficient to cause similar effects within minutes in controlled experiments by other researchers.
Chemicals found in the cars included the carcinogen benzene , two other possible carcinogens cyclohexanone and styrene , and several other toxic chemicals. A more recent study in Japan found that the volatile organic chemicals in a new minivan were over 35 times the health limit the day after its delivery. In four months levels had fallen under the limit but increased again in the hot summer months, taking three years to permanently remain below the limit.
The limits were set by the Japanese health ministry in response to more car owners suffering from sick building syndrome. Yet another study showed little toxicity in new car odors. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Chemical composition [ edit ] Both the scent and what produces it vary somewhat in different kinds of cars.
