why do they smell so bad? WTF?

Just bought some new CD-Rs for general use and they smell really bad almost like opening up a paint can or something. I don't remember my old Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs smelling this bad. What gives? Is it really necessary? Any chance the smell will dissipate a lot if I leave them open in the house or will it just stink up the house? Thank you.

That's probably the polycarbonate. The smell will go away... eventually.

Any ideas on dissipating the smell sooner without damaging the CD-Rs?
