      It is well known that automotive interior materials contain various volatile chemicals (VOCs) such as benzene and aldehydes. From a medical point of view, after a person inhales volatile chemicals in a car in a short period of time, anesthesia can occur in the central nervous system, and symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, chest tightness, and fatigue appear. Is it very similar to the symptoms of motion sickness??

      Therefore, if you have no motion sickness but have symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and vomiting, the culprit is likely to be the harmful gas in the car. If this happens in your own private car, you should pay special attention. Long-term exposure to this environment can lead to neurasthenia-like symptoms such as headache, insomnia, lethargy, and memory loss. Therefore, the air quality in the car cannot be ignored!

How do I know if the air in my car is not up to standard?

      As far as we know, complaints about abnormal air in cars are generally mostly new cars. Of course, some models still have different degrees of "air pollution" after being driven for 2 or 3 years. Plastic parts, carpets, roof felts, seats, etc. are made of materials that do not meet environmental protection standards. Friends who have studied chemistry should know very well that benzene, toluene, xylene, etc. are released at a relatively fast rate, and generally will be diluted in a few months, but the release cycle of formaldehyde is as long as 3-15 years. If you find air stings in the car Nose, hot eyes, and even skin allergies are often caused by excessive formaldehyde; if there is a special aromatic odor in the car for no reason, it is likely to be excessive benzene.

      Of course, in addition to the most intuitive judgment methods such as human sense of smell and touch, you can also use instruments to test whether your car meets air quality standards. You can buy a "formaldehyde self-test box" or an electronic reading "formaldehyde tester" for tens of yuan on a certain treasure. Although this kind of measurement category is single, it is cheaper and more convenient for air monitoring in new homes and new cars. If you need to test the air composition in the car more comprehensively, you need to use a more professional (and of course more expensive) air quality analysis instrument. It is not recommended to buy it here. It is enough to use your own sense of smell + cheap electronic measuring instruments to find problems.

      Also worth mentioning is that I found a very strange phenomenon. When a friend rides your car for the first time and says it smells bad, but you think it's normal, it's time to pay attention. Since people who often sit in the same car are likely already used to the smell, you won't notice even if the air is substandard. In this way, further testing with instruments is required. After all, the body is one's own, so it is better to pay more attention to it.

How to remove harmful chemicals and improve the air quality in the car?

      Some car owners thought, since my car does not use environmentally friendly materials, and I can't place my hopes too much on the manufacturer, how can I "help myself"? In fact, there are still many ways. For example more ventilation, ventilation is one of the most effective and convenient methods, but it is the most easily overlooked. New cars must be ventilated for at least half a year. The method recommended by the Germans is to use skylights for ventilation, which is also what I recommend. This method can effectively avoid dust and car exhaust on the road, and the air coming in is relatively fresh!
And another effective way is the car air purifier. Purifiers with different functions can meet your need!
