Do not let car outside the car will produce harmful gases

When the car is exposed to sunlight for a long time, the decoration and leather parts will release hazardous substances such as benzene due to high temperatures, especially in new cars. The interior of the car, whether it is leather or plastic, will use adhesives or other organic solvents. Many of them contain compounds such as benzene, toluene, and styrene, so the new car has this smell. However, it should be noted that as long as the organic materials in the car go through the sun for one hour, the concentration of these organic compounds will be more than five times higher than usual.

In addition to automotive interiors, gasoline itself also contains low concentrations of benzene. Under non-operational conditions, exposure to the sun will naturally release benzene and other harmful substances. This is also when the car is manufactured, it is required to install gasoline vapor recovery device in the engine room. The reason; but if the parts are old, the benzene in the engine room will also dissipate into the compartment.

Benzene has been defined as a carcinogen, while toluene inhibits the central nervous system and is toxic to the brain and liver. Although the harmful substances contained in the car's interior will decrease over time, a Japanese study found that ten years of old cars are also Still measured in the car.

In addition, some car owners may use insulated paper or sun visors to reduce the temperature of the car being baked, but Lin Jieliang reminds that some poor quality insulation paper or sun visors may contain plastic, lead, cadmium, mercury, etc. Heavy metals, under the direct sunlight, not only have limited effect on blocking heat sources, but also may release harmful substances.

So after getting on the train, roll off the window for five to ten minutes, open the air-conditioning outdoor circulation, let the air circulation inside and outside, and then change to the indoor circulation, so as not to inhale the "toxic gas." Most drivers are concerned that air pollution often closes the window and relies on indoor circulation. This is not good. For safety, when you drive to the suburbs, you may wish to pull down the windows and try to keep the air flowing.
