In hot weather, under the direct rays of the sun, the interior of the car turns into a red-hot oven in a matter of minutes. What should not be left inside a car in summer, read in the article Turkmenportal.
It is unacceptable to leave children and pets in a closed vehicle. Even if you are going to run into the store for five minutes and it seems to you that nothing bad can happen during this time. For example, you can meet a friend and chat with him or get stuck at the checkout.
The physiology of children is different from adults. A child's body temperature rises 3-5 times faster and children are more prone to dehydration than adults.
As for pets, they are also vulnerable to heat. So, the body of a dog locked in a car heats up to 41 ° C in about 20 minutes - a lethal value for an animal.
Over time, the car for its owner becomes a second home and, imperceptibly for a person, the interior is overgrown with numerous gadgets, accessories and various trifles. It is worth periodically auditing the glove box, cup holders, pockets, etc.
The list of items that it is better to take with you when leaving the car includes:
Medicines. The instructions for them contain recommendations for storage, as a rule, drugs should be kept in a place protected from light at a temperature not exceeding 20 - 25 degrees Celsius.
The summer sun can affect the chemical composition of drugs, which can lead not only to a decrease in their effectiveness, but also to the release of toxic substances.
A plastic bottle of water, forgotten for several hours, or even days, can cause a car interior to ignite. Water in a plastic bottle in direct sunlight can work like a lens.
Another reason is bisphenol A, a chemical that is toxic to humans and releases plastic when heated to high temperatures. True, judging by the experimental data, it is released during 4 weeks of heating to 70 ° C.
Food - Dairy products, meat, fish, eggs, baked goods and many other foods should not be stored for more than one hour at temperatures above 32°C. The heat creates favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria that affect the quality and safety of food.
Aerosols - deodorants, antistatic clothing, air fresheners, various sprays and other compressed gas cans can explode. Even if the sun's rays do not hit directly, the aerosol is heated by hot air, which leads to the expansion of the air inside the container.
A lighter left in the sun can also cause a fire.
Cosmetics can repeat the fate of drugs. Decorative and care cosmetics from extreme heat can change their consistency and properties, and cause an allergic reaction in subsequent use.
Gadgets are also at risk. Manufacturers do not advise leaving phones, tablets, battery-powered toys and other devices in a hot car interior. For example, Apple warns that temperatures above 35°C can damage the battery.
And finally, any plastic items, such as sunglasses, ballpoint pens and other little things that accumulate and are forgotten in the car.
