With the arrival of summer, the heat can turn your car into a "dangerous place". So what can't be stored in the car for a long time in the summer? I'm going to talk to you today.
1. Sunglasses
The scientific principle of sunglasses shows that when exposed to strong sunlight, an extremely high temperature focal point can be formed due to the focusing effect of the lenses. If this focus happens to be on some flammable substance inside the car, the consequences are dire.
A seemingly innocuous little accessory, because a "just right" exposure to sunlight can lead a car to the brink of self-destruction. Be sure to store your sunglasses carefully, don't put your sunglasses directly outside, they will be safe in the glasses case.
2. Power banks, lighters and car perfumes.
Let's talk about the power bank first, which is an invisible bane in the car in the summer. These handy devices can turn into flamethrowers if the temperature exceeds the standard after exposure to high temperatures.
Coupled with a lighter that looks pleasing to the eye, if it is ignited by the temperature, the consequences are unimaginable. As for the car fragrances that make your car smelly, they are also powerful at high temperatures.
If you are not careful with the alcohol in the perfume, the unique fragrance may turn into a flame.
If it comes into contact with other combustible materials in the car, the spark is more than just a small fight. Items such as tissues or clothing are not resistant to flames.
3. Carbonated drinks
The principle is actually quite simple, carbonated drinks are filled with carbon dioxide, and once the temperature rises, their small universe is ignited. The rising temperature makes the air pressure in the bottle rise sharply, how can you not vent it? The result is a "bang" that makes your car go through a "baptism".
Parking a car outside in the summer is like parking it in an oven, and Coke loves it. Even the carry-on Xiaoice box left in the car may not be able to resist the invasion of high temperatures. There have been many cases of Coke bottle explosions on the Internet, and things that seem to be far away from us are suddenly close at hand.
4. Snacks, beverages, mineral water
Some people are greedy and like to keep snacks and drinks in the car so that they can satisfy themselves anytime and anywhere, but there are safety hazards in the car in the summer. You may not realize that snacks and bottled beverages that look safe on supermarket shelves have quietly gone off after a period of summer heat.
Food spoilage is not just a change in taste, but also a surge in temperature that causes bacteria to multiply faster. Once food has gone bad, the toxins in it can be harmful to the human body, from mild gastrointestinal upset to severe food poisoning, which is definitely a big blow on your journey.
Improperly sealed food packaging can also release harmful chemicals at high temperatures, posing a threat to human health. Mineral water bottles will not only produce harmful chemicals at high temperatures, if they are placed in the wrong place, they will be "combined" with the sunlight shining in, and they will become a magnifying glass.
Cool, dry and airtight. Choose the coolest place in the car to store your food, and if possible, use a dedicated cooler or ice pack to further insulate yourself from the heat. Keep the packaging of your food intact, and the better the seal, the longer the food will stay fresh. Mastering the natural preservation methods of some foods, such as using citric acid, a natural preservative, can effectively extend the freshness of food.
Make it a good habit to check the interior of your car every time you leave it before you leave it to make sure you don't leave anything potentially dangerous, and try to find a shaded spot for your car in the summer to give it a chance to escape the heat.
