How to ensure maximum health when driving a vehicle in a special period?

As the Spring Festival approaches, novel coronavirus has attracted the attention of people all over the country. Up to 65438+1October 23rd 18, there were 63 newly confirmed cases of pneumonia in China. From the figures, although the figures caused by the epidemic in a few days are worrying, the significance expressed by the figures is to remind the general public to pay special attention to their food, clothing, housing and transportation at all times.

To prevent novel coronavirus, it is very important to wash hands frequently, ventilate frequently and wear masks in any public or private occasions. However, it is precisely because the Spring Festival is approaching that private cars or taxis have become everyone's first choice, but in this narrow car space, it is likely to become a gathering point for many germs and viruses. Therefore, in this extraordinary period, it is imperative to ensure the health of the car environment.

Ensure that the car is basically clean and tidy, and I don't need to go into details here. After all, people often deal with dirty parts when washing cars, but there are still some details of use and cleaning that will be ignored during the epidemic. Let's list them one by one.

Good ventilation is the first priority?

Good ventilation and wearing a mask are the first factors to prevent respiratory infection, but it is unrealistic to run with the window open all the time in winter. Therefore, diagonal window ventilation methods (such as driver's seat window and right rear seat window) can not only realize rapid air circulation in the car, but also avoid catching a cold by closing the window immediately.

The air conditioning system in the car is also an important part. It is suggested to use external air circulation to increase the air circulation in the car in an emergency. In terms of temperature setting, it is suggested that when the engine water temperature reaches the normal temperature, the warm air temperature should be adjusted to the highest level, so that the interior air duct can be cleaned with the hottest air, and then the temperature should be lowered to the normal level after 10 minutes.

Automobile air conditioning filter is also an important component to ensure the cleanliness of air conditioning system and air outlet. After all, when the air circulation is set to external circulation, all the air must be filtered by the air conditioner filter. Therefore, in an extraordinary period, it is recommended that the owner replace the air conditioning filter element in advance to ensure that there is not too much dust, leaves and other adsorption on the front of the filter element. Of course, luxury brands are generally equipped with large and small filter elements, and it is safest to replace them all. After all, it is equivalent to a mask for the air inside the car.

Get into the habit of wiping and disinfecting the car regularly.

After the air is fresh, the next priority is naturally to clean the car, especially the steering wheel, gear lever, turn signal control lever, glass lifting switch, etc., which drivers often contact. It can be cleaned by spraying effective disinfectant, and if it is convenient, it can also be wiped with alcohol-based quick-drying hand sanitizer, which is both tasteless and convenient.

In addition, the cleaning of seats, handrails and door panels can only be disinfected by diluting and spraying disinfectant. After the disinfectant is sprayed, it can be wiped again with a wet towel to avoid the corrosion of the leather seat by chlorine-containing disinfectant.

If you want to straighten up, you need to work hard. Spring Festival is coming, don't forget to strengthen exercise and improve your immunity. Be restrained when you go out to visit relatives and friends. Don't reduce immunity and increase the risk of infection because of excessive staying up late and fatigue. In a special period, let us overcome difficulties with love and courage, tide over difficulties with tenacity and responsibility, and pay tribute to all front-line medical workers! Come on in Wuhan!
