According to a new study that was published in Environmental Science & Technology, drivers and passengers may be exposed to substances that cause cancer due to the poor quality of the air inside cars. The study, which covered 30 states, looked at the cabin air quality of 101 gas, electric, and hybrid cars from the 2015 to 2022 model years. Surprisingly, TCIPP, a flame retardant that is presently being looked into by the US National Toxicology Program for possible carcinogenic qualities, tested positive in 99% of the autos. The majority of cars also included two more flame retardants, TCEP and TDCIPP, all of which are known to cause cancer.
