RE: [Chrysler300] RE: Outgassing ?

I was first introduced to outgassing of plastics and the like during the
space program in the 1960's. Obviously, it is a potential problem to
astronauts in such confined space.

I also have a friend whose wife has great sensitivity to the gases from
plastics. They have no carpeting in their home. They only purchase
automobiles that are at least several years old, preferably well sun baked.

Hi John,
The term outgassing refers to the vapors released when certain organic
compounds cure. For example, when you paint a car, the curing process
involves outgassing. As the paint "dries" it releases vapors into the
atmosphere. (snip)
