That morning, I woke up as usual, washed up, and prepared to charge my phone. I picked up the charging cable and plugged it into the socket and phone charging port. At this moment, a faint smell of glue hit my nose, making me furrow my brow. I carefully sniffed and found that the smell came from the charging cable itself.

At first, I thought this was just an occasional phenomenon, possibly caused by the charging cable not being used for a long time or being squeezed during transportation. So, I decided to hang the charging cable in a ventilated place for a while to see if the smell would dissipate. However, a few hours later, when I picked up the charging cable again, I found that the smell of glue still existed and even became stronger.

This makes me very confused. I know that charging cables are usually made of materials such as plastic and rubber, which may leave some chemical residues during the production process, but generally do not cause harm to the human body. However, this strange smell of glue makes me feel a bit uneasy, worried that it will have an impact on my health.

So, I decided to delve deeper into the mystery of the "odor" of charging cables. I first consulted some relevant information and learned that some chemicals such as plastic additives and rubber accelerators are indeed used in the production process of charging cables. These substances may evaporate at high temperatures and produce a certain odor. Usually, these odors will gradually dissipate after the charging cable is used for a period of time.

However, the adhesive smell emitted by my charging cable is exceptionally persistent and strong, which makes me suspect that there may be other reasons. I began to carefully inspect the appearance and quality of the charging cable and found some slight scratches and wear on its surface. These scratches and wear may be caused by external pressure or friction on the charging cable during use.

I suddenly realized that charging cables may produce harmful gases during use due to poor contact or overheating. These gases accumulate inside the charging cable and cannot be released in a timely manner, resulting in a strange rubber smell emanating from the charging cable. To verify this hypothesis, I have decided to conduct some experiments.

I found a transparent plastic bag, put the charging cable in it, and sealed the plastic bag. Then, I inserted the charging cable into the socket and observed the changes inside the plastic bag. A few minutes later, I noticed some fog inside the plastic bag, which was the smell of glue emitted by the charging cable. I leaned my nose close to the plastic bag and sniffed carefully, and found that these mists did contain some harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, etc.

This discovery shocked me greatly. I know that these harmful gases pose a great threat to human health. Long term inhalation may cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and even serious illnesses. I realized that the adhesive smell emitted by the charging cable is not an accidental phenomenon, but rather a certain safety hazard.

In order to eliminate the odor of the charging cable, I have decided to take some measures. Firstly, I placed the charging cable in a well ventilated area to air dry and allow harmful gases to dissipate as soon as possible. At the same time, I also purchased some activated carbon packs and placed them near the charging cable to absorb harmful gases.

However, the effects of these measures are not significant. The adhesive smell emitted by the charging cable still exists, which makes me feel very troubled. I began to ponder whether there were other better ways to solve this problem.

By chance, I learned a little trick. Originally, the adhesive odor emitted by charging cables can be eliminated by heating. I have decided to give this method a try. I found a hair dryer, placed the charging cable in the hair dryer port, and heated it at a moderate temperature for a few minutes. Then, I placed the charging cable in a well ventilated area to dry, allowing harmful gases to dissipate as soon as possible.

Surprisingly, this method actually worked. After several heating and drying cycles, the adhesive smell emitted by the charging cable gradually dissipated and eventually disappeared. I picked up the charging cable again, sniffed it carefully, and found that it had become fresh and tasteless.
