Multiple domestic vehicles detected PAHs

On April 8, according to investigations, the steering wheel and headrest seats of Changan Yuexiang, Mitsubishi Outlander, Chevrolet Aveo Europe, Changan Suzuki SX4 and many other models were detected to contain strong carcinogenic PAHs. Among them, the detection value of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons of Changan Yuexiang's steering wheel is 23.5mg/Kg, which exceeds the provisions of the European Union and German GS standards on the content of PAHs in consumer products.

According to reports, in the German GS standard, the second-class standard for adults is limited to 10 mg/Kg or less, which means that adult skin contact with consumer products for more than 30 seconds (excluding materials that can be placed in the mouth and for use by children under three years old The content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in toys that are in contact with the skin is 10mg/Kg. The test report of the relevant media shows that Changan Yuexiang exceeded the EU Class II standards for the detection of PAHs on the steering wheel by more than 2 times; if measured by a class of standards, Changan Yuexiang’s test results exceeded. More than 100 times.

According to the person in charge of the relevant media, the relevant media purchased the steering wheel of the Suzuki SX4 and Chevrolet Aveo Europe models that were also sold in the country in Europe, and was sent to a third-party testing agency of the domestic authority for testing. The results showed that in Germany, The steering wheel of the two vehicles purchased did not detect PAHs. In the steering wheel of the first batch of homemade Suzuki Tianyu SX4 and Shanghai GM Chevrolet Aveo Europe, PAHs were detected in the first batch, and their contents were 6.4 mg/Kg and 7.0 mg/Kg, respectively.

According to relevant experts from the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, PAHs are ubiquitous in the environment in which humans exist, but they are present in automotive products and have recently received attention from all walks of life. "According to the carcinogenic pathways of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, respiratory inhalation and skin contact with excessive amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons may increase the risk of cancer in humans."
