New Car Smell Valve

 I read that new car smell is actually toxic solvents, and that cars outgass kilograms during their first year. Simply have a foam or PTFE valve make the car outgass twenty times faster

I read that New Car Smell is toxic [link], so just have a passive barrier valve cause it to exit the car many times faster.

What is a passive barrier valve? Just think of memory foam mattress toppers, they exapand and become more air-passable when slightly warmed and automatically shrink when cool. This would make cars hyperporous on warm days, improving outgassing. PTFE-tex might just keep external odors out, or it might not.

Volvo likes ridding its vehicles of that new car smell. https://www.edmunds...smell-be-toxic.html

       There are plenty of smelly things you could have in your car that are not toxic.

       I wonder what Hertz or Avis would say about losing the new car smell early from their rental fleet.

       You seem to be proposing to make flow easier (overall) by adding a (variable) restriction.

       Do cars not have openable windows nowadays?
