The problem is most likely, as others have indicated, plasticizer
escaping from the plastics in the car.  There are, however, other
and more sinister potential causes:

Slow leak in the heater, causing volitals in the engine coolant to
be deposited on your windows.  I have seen this in couple of cars,
where there was no great evidence of trouble except for mysterious
loss of coolant and windows that constantly fogged when the heater
ran.

Slow leak in the air conditioning system.  The freon won't fog the
windows, but the oils that they put in it will.  If you ever have a
mysterious loss of freon in an air conditioning system, suspect
something like this.
