LONDON, March 20: Good car must have good air? Yesterday CCTV weekly quality
report columns launch blockbuster reported: in random censorship Beijing
Benz C-Class, E-class cars, the BMW 3 Series cars, 5 cars, as well as the
Audi A6, Q5 damping chip samples detected with No. 70 asphalt, with a strong
carcinogenic effects, belonging to a carcinogen.
All the models for the show for people familiar with the ABB (Audi, BMW,
Mercedes-Benz), the program was broadcast triggered a strong reaction, about
eleven o'clock the CCTV the official @ CCTV News related forwards, but when
reporters yesterday dial through Mercedes-Benz, BMW PR person in charge,
the other said no response official in several major brands as
correspondents of press time, only models introduced CCTV reported no phrase
or only language feedback. reporters to see , FAW-Volkswagen official, many
users simply other on a message: 'damping piece! seeking to explain!' must
give way! '
The localization earn profits lost quality
According to reports, the role of the damper to reduce the noise of the car
in Europe and the United States and other countries, the damper and
generally use polymer resin material or rubber material not volatile toxic
and harmful gases.
CCTV reported, show that the correlation detection Benz BMW Audi domestic
cars in order to reduce the cost of only 200 yuan, the damping sheet
materials are used in the vehicle 50 yuan to 70 yuan for a class of
carcinogens asphalt rather than environmentally friendly materials. heavy
truck technology center materials technology, Senior Engineer Zhou Guangya,
sun exposure and engine cooling, close to the asphalt damping piece of steel
plate heat can easily decompose to release the toxic PAHs gas, which is a
long-term slow release.
Experts point out that brand cars made in China, the reason not to use
environmentally friendly materials, on the one hand, because our country has
no national standards on auto parts and auxiliary materials, on the other
hand, the use of asphalt can reduce costs. According to estimates, in 2012
years, Beijing Benz, Brilliance BMW and Audi sales total of about 650,000,
only use asphalt damping piece a year to produce a total of 97 million to
130 million yuan profit.
CCTV report disclosed that some owners reflects, half an hour after the car
will feel dizzy, and the nausea. Owners of the car two years later found
that frequent cough, body obvious fatigue and other symptoms, a Mercedes
owners reflect Mr. King said that he do not smoke do not drink, but after
medical examination found that the lungs appear the phenomenon of increased
lung markings, the equivalent of a smoker, pumping almost a decade.
The existing standard congenitally deficient accommodate manufacturers
Car air quality is not a new topic of China has also started in March 2012,
the Air Quality Evaluation Guide >> << passenger cars, defined for benzene,
toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, styrene, formaldehyde, acetic aldehyde,
acrolein the common car volatile organic compounds concentration limits.
Unfortunately, << Guide >> are crippled.
A condition of anonymity, experts pointed out that the careful analysis of
the the << Guide >>, interior air quality or reference to a large extent <<
indoor air quality standards >> example, car benzene content must not exceed
0.11 mg / cubic meters of formaldehyde content can not exceed 0.10 mg /
cubic meter, fully consistent with standard indoor car toluene content can
not exceed 1.10 mg / cubic meter, xylene content must not exceed 1.50 mg /
cubic meter, this standard is far lower standard indoor. indoor standards
require the former content does not exceed 0.20 mg / cubic meter, which does
not exceed 0.20 mg / m 3 The expert pointed out, toluene, xylene, it is
precisely the bulk of vehicle air pollution sources. Such selective
relaxation of standards, it seems more like the sake of the manufacturer's
production standard. addition, indoor air quality standards involving
physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen
dioxide, respirable particles and other conventional pollutants, as well as
biological and radiological indicators . << Guide only eight indicators.
Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin and other 22 consumer rights unit also pointed
out that the presence of volatile organic compounds in the air inside the
vehicle as much as hundreds of species, including hydrocarbons, aldehydes,
ketones, >> only << Guide provides for eight volatile organic concentration
limits. they suggested that national standards should be appropriate to
increase the detection of organic volatile substances project.
Back in July 2004, the former State Environmental Protection Administration
(SEPA) has organized the relevant research institutions research vehicle air
pollution problem, and start the formulation of national environmental
standards << car air pollutant concentration limits and measurement methods
>> work, and is expected to formally introduced in October 2006, but for
various reasons, and so come loose << Guide >>
A lot of people does not matter to the quality of air inside the vehicle
<< Guide >> criticized as a recommended standard, it does not have the
binding. Insiders pointed out, however, that the fact << indoor air quality
standards >> recommended standards, but it has been generally recognition.
This is mainly because of the more than 10 years ago, indoor environmental
pollution caused by the public's attention. General, consumer in renovation
contracts signed, will be asked to write << indoor air quality standards >>
renovation contracts or supplementary contract the two sides agreed, >>
reference << indoor air quality standards, testing costs are borne by the
customer, if the indoor air quality exceeded indeed caused by the decoration
companies, decoration companies bear the detection, treatment costs and
compensation so that, even if there is a dispute and evidence-based.
Car into the family on a large scale, but also in recent years for the air
inside the car, a lot of people still holding indifferent attitude of the
reporter interviewed a dozen private car owners, they said that they can
really beginning to drive a new car feel the car air quality is not very
good, only a few people to roll down the glass or spray air purification air
, perfume and other items in the car, and more With 'Over time the taste
will naturally disappear' attitude. a auto 4S shop sales staff also admitted
that most consumers look at cars when buying a car, only concerned with
style, price, and performance of the car, almost no one would say in how the
air quality inside the vehicle. due to buy a car part ignored this problems
, leading to a future in aftermarket link defenders have difficulty. however
, consumers said, even to buy a car thought to << Guide >> written into the
contract, it is difficult to operate. response, the industry believes that a
aspects of state should introduce more realistic and ease of operation of
the standard, the other hand, consumers should 'vote with their feet' and
increased binding manufacturers through currency options. course, this
process may be relatively long., after all, the indoor air the quality
awareness promotion also spent 10 years at the time.
