Default Interior Air Pollution

I have had my Prius for about 6 months. Since buying it, I have developed throat and eye irritations. Does anyone know about toxins that may be emitted from the plastics and fabrics in the 2009 Prius?

Glues and plastics tend to do that, especially when new. If you've got a secure garage, you might try leaving the windows open a bit overnight. And when you first start out, leave them all the way down long enough to vent the cabin air.

It's also possible you've got some contamination or mould in the air conditioning. It wouldn't hurt to check the cabin air filter.
