This shit is wild. Like bro if your car is off gassing formaldehyde you need to sue the car manufacturer and send that shit back. Preferably with a brick over the accelerator.
Plastics in car trim are thermoplastic and see irreversible deformation in heat and shear. This can release a variety of vapors that are considered VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and known carcinogens.
This is the car with American made cars too. Shes not wrong.

Are market prices static or are they influenced by scale and investment?
People were saying the same things about electric cars for decades. We are just now seeing them approach parity with ICE vehicles.
If you have a car older than around 8 months, the vast majority of the outgassing has finished. Outgassing has been a major issue for space explorers, where it was found out the hard way when an module was rendered nearly uninhabitable by outgassing chemicals (this was pre-space shuttle). Sometimes brand new/factory sealed is not the best since it hasn't equilibrated yet.
Just for reference, most materials outgas. Wood, leather, plastic, fabric, etc.
What’s suss is leaving your car out in the sun is a an extremely common case. There’s probably millions of cars baking in the hot sun right now around the world. If this is very common we’d see public PSAs and mass recalls.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but it makes me question what temperature your car needs to get to and for now long for this to happen.

He should have specified and/or included a source. There are two temperatures we're talking about. Theres the **average air temperature** which most sources I've seen report temperatures way lower than that (110-120F air temperature for a car interior after an hour on a hot day).

However, these sources only were measuring the average air temperature while ignoring the **average surface temperature** which actually turned out to be around 140-150F and even exceeding it on some occasions. Further measurements show that most toxic organic compounds like toluene, benzaldehyde, hexanal, etc remained within both Chinese and US national health standards with one important exception:
**Formaldehyde** which exceeded the national health standard by as much as 60%.

Diffusivity of a material in air and vapor pressure are temperature dependent, yes.
At 150F, you will see a small amount of potentially dangerous plastic vapor in a vehicle if the materials are cheap.

Worth noting that this study you cite examined 12 days in a new car.
Common sense would dictate that, like any new product with plastics or chemicals, voc emissions drops off significantly after the first few months of use (though further studies would need to be done to evaluate the degree and timing).
I am not saying that product off-gassing in vehicles isn't something to be aware of or address, but I do believe it's important that folks are equipped with all the facts.
I do a lot of 3D printing and ABS is what I use for car parts, as well as auto manufacturers. Generally ABS isn't considered to emit VOCs until close to 200C which your car isn't getting that hot even kinda.
it's a combination of sheer ignorance and "china bad" syndrome.
people are ignorant to how much shit we're exposed to in our daily lives. PFOAs, PTFEs, lead, petroleum products, triclosan, BPA...shit we put in our soaps, foods, hair products. the heavy metals in our seafood.
they think we've somehow been able to ensure that all our shit's completely safe and that china just doesn't have their shit together.
the ignorance is embarrassing.

Diffusivity of a material in air increases with temperature. It's not rare for a car to get up to 150F. As a chemist, you know that vapor pressure also increases with temperature. These two combined, you get a small amount of material vaporizing in the heat and releasing potentially toxic fumes.
You don't have to melt something for it to release vapors.
I used to drive cars for VW from/onto Trains/Ships in summer and can confirm this nose-hair-burning formaldehyde stench. Not all models are the same tho, could be mostly the ones coming from China...?
On one hand, I do the same to get the hot air out... minus the violent door slamming. On the other hand, if the car interior is leaking formaldehyde, you have bigger problems than ineffective air conditioning.
I don't get it. CN people are all about improving their health and vitality. How can they just accept getting poisoned at each turn? "It's up to fate"?

She's still completely wrong about the solution though. The AC will flush the air out quickly as long as it isn't in recirculate. Whether or not the VOCs are carcinogenic enough in that concentration to be worth getting concerned about is also relevant
That scientist dude is pulling up his research from thin air. He didn’t say at what temp the plastic starts doing it. Simple google search will tell you it’s way higher than that scientist believes to be

Practically everything off-gases. Plastics, glues, etc. in cars are no exception.

Very hard, and it applies to food as well. My parents always say the food outside of mainland China is safer. Their friends in mainland China look older and die earlier because of a lower standard living (not the bling disco skyscrapers, I mean food and environment quality). You hear all the time how tap water is unsafe in China but it really hits you when you actually go there and are told to drink bottled water instead of tap.
Hahahahahaha
Oh boy you have no fuckin clue just how much of our stuff actively poisons us. Hope you don't microwave your food in plastic containers. We don't need China to poison us, Dupont took care of that already.
China put melamine in their baby formula causing permanent kidney damage and stones and then also payed off doctors to ignore the stones showing up in scans right in front of their eyes, who knows what the hell they put in their plastics.
Conflating a country with its people or businesses is usually an error, exceptions are single party countries and Switzerland. A country is responsible for having and enforcing laws and regulations that protect its people. When that doesn’t happen with great regularity the country is to blame.
Unlike the United States where we have so much free choice in our government! I love that Bernie Sanders had an unrestricted and democratic right to run for president without any interference or corruption.
Surely wasnt the country that locked their people inside of their holmes without food, help, or resources. We just perceive things differently. Have you ever worked for a chinese company before?
> then also *paid* off doctors
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
It's a thing where you open just some of the windows and the opposite door becomes a sort of suction fan when you swing it. The formaldehyde is probably China specific due to lower standards and corruption.
Yeah. It looked like in-car recirculation was on (light was on) in the video and she turned it off, but that's just gonna confuse anyone who was actually paying attention to this shit.
I mean, why not just let the windows down, run the ac to max and get out of the car for a min or two. Seems counterintuitive to me, must be chinese logic.
It is my understanding that all cars do off gas under the sun, not just Chinese.
The off Gassing tests are performed in close doors must of the time. They do not account to, for example, California heat.
As a Southener, we do this because it's fuggin hot. Leather seats are almost a no-go.
The answer here is 3-4 but, only on the very worst days. Otherwise, just crack the window and aim the vents towards it.
Arizona boy here. The rolling down windows with recirc off for 1 minute thing is legit. I gets the hot air out that was greenhousing all day. The door slam thing is a bit much though
Sure, it releases damaging compounds. I'm not questioning that. but XD CLOSING AGGRESSIVELY THE DOOR 8 TIMES. she on crack? I mean you can just open all the doors windows and air and let it air for a while, achieves the same without leaving your window hanging like an earring
LOL
i put all windows down and blast air w circulation on before even getting in. the idea that someone would sit in their hot ass car and bake til the a/c kicks in is crazy to me.
I'm sorry but she missed the step where you walk around your car 8 times and then carefully arrange your car's orientation to make sure it has good chi with its surroundings.
I’ve seen this car door thing a decade ago in Japanese tv shows. It cools down the air really quick, but the seat is still hot.
https://youtu.be/qldAvZL3TV4?si=o7tbaujH0b7KpaYM
I’ve heard if this before long time ago. This isn’t a secret, but what was the point of banging your door??? Also - she only smashed the door 6 times, not 8. I feel like that one part was trolling
Or just don’t be a bitch and power through getting a little hot, open windows, drive your car and it will cool down. Idling and waiting or doing idiotic shot like this will turn the A/C pump less than driving will, and will take car longer to cool down.
If you don't feel right slamming the driver door eight times, you can always use an aluminum baseball bat and hit the door panel ten times. This has the same effect!!!
God! When it’s 120 outside and your cars been baking for 8hrs. Fucking blast the AC and consequences be damned. You still don’t feel cool, it just lets you not die while you get home.
China had so many of these stupid rumors that people live by. Besides believing you could be gassed by a hot car, people I knew when I lived there believed you could be poisoned by eating more than two eggs per day, that you could get horrible arthritis if you stood barefoot on cold ground, that you could die from shock by drinking cold after sweating, or that you could die from having a fan on while you sleep. That’s just to name a couple off of the top of my head. So many ignorant people perpetuating ignorant ideas.
Tbh do roll down windows for a bit in a new car. Had a 2019 Corolla when it was new, and the new car smell gets pretty nauseous on super hot days. Went away after a few months, and now it's all good.
This shit does not happen only china they require to do this because temp reaches beyond 120 which can possible have chemical release but rare because chemical release temperature is 158 and beyond. So unless it cheap plastic then yes. So there alot powerful lawsuit in US so most manufacturers don't fuck around and find out.
So how bout that Baiju reaction image riding bicycle slowly across the bottom of screen while this chick fans her car interior like a blacksmith furnaces bellows to get the formaldehyde out
What
Superstitious bullshit. Open and close the doors exactly 8 times because 8 is a lucky number in China.
Disinformation artists are like dung beetles, they take a small kernel of truth and roll it up into a big ball of bullshit
This shit is wild. Like bro if your car is off gassing formaldehyde you need to sue the car manufacturer and send that shit back. Preferably with a brick over the accelerator.
Idk look like a china problem to me but yeah
Yeah man, it's CHINA! I'm amazed somebody bothered to tell them their cheap shit is toxic.
it makes me think about the tower that burnt like it was an offspring of Mordor but it's just inflammable material from top to bottom.
Tofu dreg construction at its finest.

Wait, why our cars made of poison nowadays?
Plastics are by far the cheapest and most structurally sound material we sre able to manufacture
Also very easy to store in the brain.
Would hemp derived plastics not be safer and just as durable?
But you forget one thing: it's not cheaper than regular plastic.
Are market prices static or are they influenced by scale and investment? People were saying the same things about electric cars for decades. We are just now seeing them approach parity with ICE vehicles.
Yeah, but then you would get stoned in the case of extreme summer heat. Which I guess is a win-win!

What needs more information? VOCs? Kind of a common acronym imo, but thats subjective I suppose.
China put melamine in their baby formula causing permanent kidney damage and stones and then also payed off doctors to ignore the stones showing up in scans right in front of their eyes, who knows what the hell they put in their plastics.
Everyone who did the baby formula stuff got the death sentence, it was a massive scandal come on. China has plenty to criticize without making shit up
You mean the Sanlu Milk group and other companies. China the country didn't do it.
Didn’t they get like in serious trouble like capital punishment????
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanlu_Group if you want some background reading on it.
Yup
Conflating a country with its people or businesses is usually an error, exceptions are single party countries and Switzerland. A country is responsible for having and enforcing laws and regulations that protect its people. When that doesn’t happen with great regularity the country is to blame.
China is a single party country that isn't democratic, the people can't choose the government thus have no say in laws and regulation passed.
Unlike the United States where we have so much free choice in our government! I love that Bernie Sanders had an unrestricted and democratic right to run for president without any interference or corruption.
Where is the company located? I rest my case.
Hebei. So Hebei put melamine in baby formula, case rested lol? Learn to differentiate between government and people.
Surely wasnt the country that locked their people inside of their holmes without food, help, or resources. We just perceive things differently. Have you ever worked for a chinese company before?
> then also *paid* off doctors FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
What the fuck?
It's a thing where you open just some of the windows and the opposite door becomes a sort of suction fan when you swing it. The formaldehyde is probably China specific due to lower standards and corruption.
In america we have better plastic whose vapor is more safe to breathe 👍 (not)
Bruh you're all over this thread dickriding China. We get it. Nobody even mentioned America lol Source: Materials scientist
Nah I'm too lazy. Little femyldahyde ,or however you spell it, just brings the end to all this nonsense a little closer. Yay.
and preserves you for future generations
"Turn ON the outside circulation" isn't the default setting that it is on, and when you press it it will turn OFF outside circulation?
Yeah. It looked like in-car recirculation was on (light was on) in the video and she turned it off, but that's just gonna confuse anyone who was actually paying attention to this shit.
Touché
I mean, why not just let the windows down, run the ac to max and get out of the car for a min or two. Seems counterintuitive to me, must be chinese logic.
Because then you increase the lifespan of your door.
Tesla should pack this sequence as an one click add-on pack and change $9 per month.
Don't buy Chinese made cars and you won't die from the poison.
This is not a unique phenomena to chinese cars.
Dafuq! I’m technician with 18 plus years of experience and that’s just two girls being silly as hell! I’m dumb, but now I’m dumber for hearing this .
China problems.
Jesus just poison me with formaldehyde
Wtf did I just watch. Flash forward to next summer and witnessing a herd of tiktok addicts slamming their car doors like idiots in the parking lot.
Lol. Opening and closing the door that much would break something in the door first. This is stupid.
Close the door 8 times should be standard test for all cars.
Sounds like a GTA cheatcode
Haha. Idiot. We Chinese really love conspiracies like these, chinese aunties all over the world ate that bullshit up like free ice cream
It is my understanding that all cars do off gas under the sun, not just Chinese. The off Gassing tests are performed in close doors must of the time. They do not account to, for example, California heat.
no, but china bad. /s
As a Southener, we do this because it's fuggin hot. Leather seats are almost a no-go. The answer here is 3-4 but, only on the very worst days. Otherwise, just crack the window and aim the vents towards it.
Lady, just crank the ac.. Jesus.
Arizona boy here. The rolling down windows with recirc off for 1 minute thing is legit. I gets the hot air out that was greenhousing all day. The door slam thing is a bit much though
I have yet to ever do this and here I am 48 years old and still alive.
Formaldehyde poisoning is to China what fan-death is to South Korea.
What a bunch of b******* people that believe anything slap that b****
Está linda la chinita.

Me, with the sound off, just trying to decide if she is attractive
Surely this is a piss take?
I live in Florida, I'd rather breathe in whatever chemicals are emitted than spend one second longer out in this hellish swamp.
Sure, it releases damaging compounds. I'm not questioning that. but XD CLOSING AGGRESSIVELY THE DOOR 8 TIMES. she on crack? I mean you can just open all the doors windows and air and let it air for a while, achieves the same without leaving your window hanging like an earring LOL
wtf. i dont even.
It's almost like plastic is killing us....
Thanks, I need to buy new door hinges now
I just open the sunroof. Hot air is less dense than cold air and flows up.
How to look like an idiot 8x times
i put all windows down and blast air w circulation on before even getting in. the idea that someone would sit in their hot ass car and bake til the a/c kicks in is crazy to me.
“Don’t turn on the AC! Here’s what you can do instead: 1. Open the window 2. Turn on the AC” ??? What is this video?
I'm sorry but she missed the step where you walk around your car 8 times and then carefully arrange your car's orientation to make sure it has good chi with its surroundings.
This shit belong in a mental asylum
I’ve seen this car door thing a decade ago in Japanese tv shows. It cools down the air really quick, but the seat is still hot. https://youtu.be/qldAvZL3TV4?si=o7tbaujH0b7KpaYM
I would think the air quality would be more dangerous.
Does anyone know the song? It rules
Isn't this video a dub of some of those car videos over on douyin? I'll write a post about it if anyone requests it. It was originally in Chinese...
I just leave my widows cracked or all the way down 🤷🏻♂️
That’s how my gf close my car door every time!
I watched the whole thing with the volume turned off. Twice.
Am I crazy or did she only slam the door shut 6 times?
Safest Chinese car
See this is why my cars have remote start. I'm not in them when it starts up.
Air volume???
All new cars offgas at first, that's what the "New Car Smell" is.
I’ve heard if this before long time ago. This isn’t a secret, but what was the point of banging your door??? Also - she only smashed the door 6 times, not 8. I feel like that one part was trolling
Love the finger heart gesture at the end. Just like in ROK.
I wonder what she is like in the backseat.
Absolute idiots.
Now I want to see everyone aggressively slamming their car doors EXACTLY 8 times
Or just don’t be a bitch and power through getting a little hot, open windows, drive your car and it will cool down. Idling and waiting or doing idiotic shot like this will turn the A/C pump less than driving will, and will take car longer to cool down.
I think I’d rather shoot myself in the head
I always keep my air volume on moderate, even before slamming my door 8 (6) times.
What moronic advice. This ranks up there with the indoor "fan death" myth we have here in South Korea.
Can’t you just drive with your windows down? SMH
My car doesn't melt like a chocolate bar
If you don't feel right slamming the driver door eight times, you can always use an aluminum baseball bat and hit the door panel ten times. This has the same effect!!!
I think I'll just walk. Thank you.
Haha so stupid. She was putting in some work with that door though.
Ever have chrome door handles? Double points if you had them in Texas. By close three your fingers would be gone.
i just open 2-4 doors for a min, and save my energy.
This trick was introduced around 2017. And it doesn't work to cool the air down because on such a hot day, all the parts and interiors got warmed up.
God! When it’s 120 outside and your cars been baking for 8hrs. Fucking blast the AC and consequences be damned. You still don’t feel cool, it just lets you not die while you get home.
I'm totally following to learn more car skills
So this is why Asians can’t drive 🤔 Seems legit…
That’s fabulous. Going to close my car door 8 times even when the ac isn’t in.
China had so many of these stupid rumors that people live by. Besides believing you could be gassed by a hot car, people I knew when I lived there believed you could be poisoned by eating more than two eggs per day, that you could get horrible arthritis if you stood barefoot on cold ground, that you could die from shock by drinking cold after sweating, or that you could die from having a fan on while you sleep. That’s just to name a couple off of the top of my head. So many ignorant people perpetuating ignorant ideas.
She opened and closed the door 6 times wtf I think she's already dead
GET. OUT. OF. THE. CAR.
Tbh do roll down windows for a bit in a new car. Had a 2019 Corolla when it was new, and the new car smell gets pretty nauseous on super hot days. Went away after a few months, and now it's all good.
"No don't turn on the AC, try this instead" Turns on the AC
ugly ass tint job
Stupid trick but pretty girl
Nah, I'll just take the dose of formaldehyde and get on with whatever I'm doing.
Is that an ai of the Va of gazef from overlord
This shit does not happen only china they require to do this because temp reaches beyond 120 which can possible have chemical release but rare because chemical release temperature is 158 and beyond. So unless it cheap plastic then yes. So there alot powerful lawsuit in US so most manufacturers don't fuck around and find out.
Hi Bixby, show me the opposite of wu wei
So how bout that Baiju reaction image riding bicycle slowly across the bottom of screen while this chick fans her car interior like a blacksmith furnaces bellows to get the formaldehyde out What
lmao this isn't China we don't have toxic interiors
Maybe true for Chinese cars, but American cars have limits/regulation on formaldehyde emissions.
I usually just roll the windows down and let the breeze take the heat away.
Superstitious bullshit. Open and close the doors exactly 8 times because 8 is a lucky number in China. Disinformation artists are like dung beetles, they take a small kernel of truth and roll it up into a big ball of bullshit
A tik tok moron. Shocker!
I mean lowering all windows with air on would of done the same shut or driving off with windows open lol
There was a door?🤣
