The compressor can be driven by the car's engine (e.g. via a belt, often the serpentine belt, and an electromagnetically actuated clutch; an electronically actuated variable displacement compressor can also be always directly driven by a belt without the need of any clutch and magnet at all) or by an electric motor.
A Daily Telegraph article on the study described the enjoyment of new car smell as "akin to glue-sniffing". [11] However, another study showed no toxicity from new car odors in lab grown cells. The odors did trigger an immune system reaction. [12] The most common side effects of the new car smell are headaches, sore throats, nausea, and ...

Axi-symmetric stall, more commonly known as compressor surge; or pressure surge, is a complete breakdown in compression resulting in a reversal of flow and the violent expulsion of previously compressed air out through the engine intake, due to the compressor's inability to continue working against the already-compressed air behind it.
A representative pressure–volume diagram for a refrigeration cycle. Vapour-compression refrigeration or vapor-compression refrigeration system (VCRS), [1] in which the refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is one of the many refrigeration cycles and is the most widely used method for air conditioning of buildings and automobiles.
An air quality monitor. Human exposure to aerosols has a variety of adverse health effects. [7] Building occupants complain of symptoms such as sensory irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat; neurotoxic or general health problems; skin irritation; nonspecific hypersensitivity reactions; infectious diseases; [8] and odor and taste sensations.

[2] [3] Although researchers have identified correlations between the aircraft occupational environment and symptoms of aerotoxic syndrome, [4] this condition is not an established medical diagnosis [5] [6] because the incidence and aetiology of the condition are still under debate. [7]
