Hey guys, I am planning to get a car in the near future. I was looking at mainly Toyota/Honda/Mazda/Lexus/Acura and something that is very important to my family and I are the concern about toxic interiors.
Now, I know that every car must have some sort of plastic, rubber, foam, etc… but I want to know which car or car brand has the least amount of these toxins that can emit toxic chemicals such as PFAS, PFOS, VOCS, etc… . The only thing I found was an article from 2012 and I think that is far outdated for today’s use. I was looking to pull the trigger on a 2024 TRD V6 Camry but I’m afraid of the upholstery that Toyota uses. I have no clue what ‘SoftTex’ is or ‘NuLuxe’.
Can anyone please give me some insight on which car or car brand has the least amount of toxins?
If you live in a city you are inhaling so much brake dust (which still contains asbestos) I really wouldn’t worry about this. You are breathing in far worse than whatever tiny amount of plastic off-gasses , if any.
