How is breathing in plastic fumes out of the vents of our cars affecting us?

Haze on the inside of your windshield is caused significantly by fumes given off from hot plastics. And we are riding around breathing that shite in everyday.
A steady dose of this vaporized chemical stew into our lungs is fine I’m sure
This is the stuff the Big Dashboard industry doesn’t want you to know.

Car owners can see the results of outgassing on their windshield, particularly during the type of hot weather we've had lately. The outgassing forms a waxy film on the inside glass that distorts their visibility and is difficult to remove. They can also smell outgassing, which is part of the new car aroma. Dashboards are generally made of polyvinyl chloride, that miracle plastic that was invented in the early 1920s and is now used in everything from water pipes to shower curtains. Unlike most materials, PVC can be rock hard or as flexible as cloth.

How do you know this? You sure it's not from humidity.

This sounds like something my ex would ask.... mind you, she refused to drink water bottles that had “warmed up” because the plastic toxins got in the water.
Never mind that the bottle was transported and stored in non temp-controlled trailers.

What kind of scientific research came up with this? Sounds a lot like Al Gore BS crossed with G Gordon McKernon.

There are 'volatiles' from newly manufactured plastics which will, over time, move from the plastic to the air. Think "new car smell". The relative hazard of the volatile organic depends on what specific molecule you're concerned with and the concentration / dosage of the person exposed. More to the point, the concentration of the chemical will decrease over time (as there is not an infinite amount of volatiles in the plastic) and so your premise is flawed. You're probably exposed to more harmful chemicals when filling up your gas tank.
My advice: Don't ride around in cars anymore or stop posting stupid things on TD. Either way, I'm good.

Great now we gonna have to listen to the OT talk about how they are allergic to cars like they are cigarette smoke.

That’s a legitimate issue that I never thought about,can’t be good to breathe that stuff.I’m glad I keep my trucks as long as possible.I’m one of those people that dread the new vehicle process.Making the deal,signing all those papers,fighting off the sales pitch for extended warranty.Then I have to move all my stuff from the old truck to the new truck,not to mention having to learn what all those various buttons are for.
In a weak moment I told my grandson I would give him my 2010 Tacoma when he turns 17,kinda sorry now.

It's pleasing us with the aroma of new car.

I've been noticing this on my wife's new Traverse... You don't notice it until you're driving into a setting sun.. Have to keep up with it..
Is this a thing with new cars...? First time I've ever seen it..
I read the link.. Have to keep putting treatment on the dash with something that's a UV blocker.
