Yay for science again! Andy Brunning, a chemistry teacher in the UK blogs about chemistry on Compound Interest. He wrote a recent blog about new car smell - http://www.compoundchem.com/2014/06/16/newcarsmell/ and Andy has also written some other interesting blogs about the smell of books and the effects of catnip on cats.
As part of my life style to avoid migraine triggers, I avoid 'new car smell'.
Studies have isolated some of the most common VOCs found in the
interiors of new cars. Many of these are aromatic compounds – that is,
compounds containing a benzene ring, a structure based on six carbons
bonded together cyclically. These include toluene, xylenes, styrene, and
trimethylbenzenes. Additionally, simpler carbon-based compounds are
also found – these include alkanes, which are composed simply of long
chains of carbon atoms, bonded to hydrogen atoms.
For my house, I realize I also need to be careful about paint, but that won't be an issue till there's walls.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteHope this finds you well. Healthline just released an interactive guide on migraine triggers. The page details 14 common triggers for migraines and how you can manage them. You can check out the guide here: http://www.healthline.com/health/migraine/triggers
This is very valuable, med-reviewed information that helps a sufferer lessen migraine severity and frequency. I thought this would be a great tool for your site, and I am writing to ask if you would include it as a resource on your page: http://sharonscrazycats.blogspot.com/2014/06/your-new-car-smells-bad.html
Please let me know if this would be possible. I’m happy to answer any other questions as well.
Warm regards,
