The environment inside the car after being exposed to the sun is quite harsh. What is even more terrifying is that many of the toxic substances in the car are invisible or even inaudible. After exposure to the sun, these toxic substances will rage in the car along with the high temperature, seriously endangering human health.
When a car is exposed to the sun, the temperature will rise in a short period of time. The plastic floors, chemical fiber cloth mats, seats and various plastic parts in the car will release harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene. Formaldehyde is an internationally recognized first-class carcinogen. Long-term contact may cause chronic respiratory diseases, nasopharyngeal cancer, colon cancer, brain tumors, nuclear gene mutations, etc. In severe cases, it can even lead to hepatitis, pneumonia and kidney damage. Formaldehyde is more harmful to infants and young children. Long-term exposure can induce a variety of diseases.
All fabrics used inside Volvo cars, including topliners, floor mats, trunk mats, face coverings, door panels, leather-decorated steering wheels and seat belts, have been tested in all aspects. Among them, there are more than 100 substances whose content or emissions must not exceed the given value. An example is that all materials cannot leak heavy metals. Environmentally friendly interiors give you a clean Nordic-style pollution-free world.
According to experiments, when the outside temperature reaches 35 ° C in summer, the temperature in the enclosed carriage can reach 65 ° C after 15 minutes of sunlight exposure. Volvo has high requirements for environmental protection, and its interior testing is also higher than international standards. For example, high-temperature testing, the international standard is 25 degrees, while Volvo itself requires 65 degrees. This temperature is equivalent to the temperature inside a car in summer sunshine. The upper limit is right. Such a level under extreme conditions should be regarded as a benchmark in the industry. This persistence moved me very much.
The safety of my Volvo is something I recommend to my friends to buy Volvo cars. Because the label safety has made Volvo synonymous with safety, and the environmental protection of the interior is my favorite thing to say most. The new car has no odor and still has no odor under high temperature exposure. I really love it.
Volvo is also the only car brand recommended by the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association. Both the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association and the American Asthma Association recommend Volvo to people sensitive to air quality.
