Store disinfectant in the car:
If disinfection fails, it will be poisoned.
The newspaper reported that on June 22 this year, a female driver was in a trance, with a runny nose and persistent cough. She was sent to the hospital by the traffic police for emergency treatment, and the doctor diagnosed her as chlorine poisoning. It was found that the source of toxic gas was the disinfectant stored in the female driver's compartment. Fortunately, the doctor delivered it in time, and it was no big deal.
The picture comes from related news.
Many people, like the female drivers in news reports, hoarded disinfectant and put it in their cars during the epidemic.
The common effective component in disinfectants is sodium hypochlorite or hypochlorous acid, which will produce chlorine after contact with air, irritate people's eyes, nose, throat and upper respiratory tract, and produce symptoms such as runny nose and cough. Excessive inhalation can also cause dizziness and nausea, and even paralyze people's nerve center and lead to death.
In summer, under the direct sunlight, the disinfectant in the car will expand at high temperature, which may lead to the rupture of the bottle, liquid leakage and the volatilization of harmful gases such as chlorine into the air. In addition, the air conditioner will be turned on and the windows will be closed in the car in summer. In a narrow space, harmful gases cannot be diffused and diluted, and if inhaled by passengers, there will be signs of poisoning.
Suggestion: Do not store disinfectants, pesticides and other items containing toxic substances in the car. After use, open the window in time to prevent passengers from inhaling and affecting their health.

Eating in the car:
Susceptible to bacterial infection? It may also be transmitted to others.
British media reported that researchers have detected bacteria that can cause food poisoning, skin infections and vomiting-Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus. After investigation and analysis, relevant scientific research institutions warned people not to eat in cars or store food in cars, otherwise they would face higher health risks and even food poisoning.
The picture comes from the internet.
Many people wash their hands before eating, but they often eat directly in the car. I didn't know that the hands touching the handle, seat, steering wheel and other parts in the car were covered with bacteria, and the food touched by the hands would be immediately contaminated by bacteria.
The residue eaten will also become the "food" of bacteria, which will aggravate the bacterial pollution in the car. Especially in summer, a warm climate is more likely to breed bacteria. In summer, the food in the car, even the tiny residue invisible to the naked eye, is a perfect "breeding base" for them.
Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus mentioned in the above news are food-borne pathogens, which are easy to cause serious food poisoning symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Among them, staphylococcus is also contagious. Once infected, it may be transmitted to family and friends around you.
Suggestion: Don't put food in the car in hot weather, try to reduce eating in the car, and don't leave food residues in the car to reduce the chance of infection.

Interior decoration DIY:
Not only pollute the air? There are also security risks.
The experiment of Japan Automobile Federation shows that the temperature inside the car reaches 45 degrees after 1 hour, and it can soar to 70 degrees in less than 2 hours. The plastic ornaments placed on the automobile panel melt and collapse after 1 hour, and the crayons also melt into liquid within 1 hour. The contents in the car will release harmful gases after changing at high temperature, which will affect human health.
The picture comes from related news.
Many car owners will carry out personalized decoration in the car, such as hanging ornaments, placing models, placing dolls and so on. However, most of these items are made of plastic or contain plastic components, which are prone to qualitative change at high temperature and release harmful substances such as PVC.
The car itself at high temperature will quickly release a lot of organic matter. If other plastic objects are placed in the car, the concentration of harmful gases in the car will increase.
China automobile health index "Evaluation Rules of VOC and Odor in Cars" mentioned that the strong smell in cars may lead to "driving syndrome" such as dizziness, fatigue, cough, inattention and anxiety, which will reduce the driving safety of passengers.
In addition, some automobile accessories, such as car perfume, may explode at high temperature, causing safety accidents.
Suggestion: Don't put unnecessary items in the car. If you have to put it in the car, only put it in the process of driving and take it away when you get off.
