Abstract
Systems and methods according to the principles of the present disclosure include determining whether a volatile organic compound (VOC) characteristic within a cabin of a vehicle exceeds a predefined volatile organic compound threshold. Systems and methods can also include causing a blower of a Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling (HVAC) system of the vehicle to generate an airflow within the cabin for a predefined time period, an air distribution mode of operation to transition from a non-operational state to an operational state, cause an air intake mode of operation to transitions from a non-operational state to an operational state, or causing at least one window of the vehicle to transition from a closed position to an open position for the predefined time period when the volatile organic compound characteristic exceeds the predefined volatile organic compound threshold to reduce volatile organic compounds within the vehicle.
