Default Rejoice, your LS has a very low cabin airborne toxicity rating.

In fact, at 1.1 out of 5, it has the one of the lowest cabin air pollution emitted by the materials typically found there; btw it was edged out by the M5. In the same class, Mercedes rated the lowest. Overall, Toyota's vehicles also scored low emissions. Chrysler didn't do so well, and are in denial according to a related CNN article.

You can find The Ecology Center's 2008 annual report here.
