Hazardous to health: what not to store in a car during an abnormal heat wave

 • 22196 переглядiв

Experts warn that during a period of abnormal heat, you should not store water, creams and various medicines in your car. UNN reports with reference to Daily Express.

Details

Firstly, experts do not recommend storing bottled water in the car, because as the temperature rises, the chemicals in the plastic can leak into the water, making it unsafe for consumption. 

In addition, plastic bottles can act as glass for sunlight and potentially cause a fire in the car, so the safest option is to simply remove the bottle from the car to ensure both the safety of the car and the freshness of the water. 

Secondly, you should not leave medications in the car in the heat. Medications such as paracetamol, cough medications, and other pain relievers have a maximum temperature at which they can remain effective. 

Most commercial painkillers and medicines are only rated for temperatures up to 25°C, which means that you can inadvertently worsen your condition by taking them and not cure the disease for which you really need them

- Experts explain. 

And finally, experts recommend not storing sunscreen, as it can deteriorate inside the bottle and even explode due to pressure in the heat. 

Addendum

The publication also emphasizes that drivers should make sure that you have enough gasoline or diesel fuel, as it is consumed faster in the heat. In addition, you need to find out whether your car has enough water and oil, which are crucial on hot days, and that your air conditioner is charged. 

Also, be careful to drive safely in the sun and keep an eye on the engine temperature gauge to prevent various problems due to the heat.
