The existence of drawers and storage areas in cars sometimes makes people casually leave a number of objects in the vehicle when it is parked.
In this regard, please note that not all items can be left in a four-wheeled vehicle, especially in hot weather and parking locations that are exposed to the sun.
Quoted from Starer Rescue, there are at least 7 things that should never be left in the vehicle. Anything?
1. People and Pets
The temperature in a car can rise very quickly, even over a short period of time. Leaving people (especially toddlers) or pets in the car can endanger their lives as temperatures can reach dangerous levels.
2. Plastic and Plastic Bottles
Some plastics can release dangerous chemicals when heated. Many water bottles contain BPA, which can damage hormones and increase the risk of endocrine disorders.
3. Medications
High temperatures can impair the effectiveness of many medications. Make sure to take your medication with you if you leave your car parked under the hot sun for a long time.
4. Cell Phones, Tablets, and Laptops
Storing electronic devices in extremely high temperatures can permanently damage batteries, reducing their capacity significantly.
5. Sunscreen Cream
Sun exposure can make sunscreen less effective. Therefore, it is best to avoid leaving sunscreen in the car.
6. Chocolate
Melted chocolate can create a mess and, of course, can no longer be enjoyed. Plus, if you try to chill it in the freezer, it might taste and look a little strange.
7. Glasses
Glasses frames can become bent due to high temperatures. Make sure to take your glasses with you when parking the car.
Leaving these items in the car is not only a matter of convenience, but also involves health and safety risks. By paying more attention to what you leave behind, you can protect yourself, your belongings, and your car.
