Can activated charcoal be left in the car during summer?

[CadenAnn]

Due to high temperatures in summer, it is not recommended to leave activated charcoal bags in the car. Below is an introduction to activated charcoal: 1. Function of activated charcoal: It is well known that activated charcoal absorbs toxic substances and odors through its micropores. However, over time, it becomes saturated and can no longer function effectively. Moreover, as temperatures rise, it may release the absorbed toxic gases. 2. Principle: The more pores activated charcoal has, the higher its adsorption capacity. Activated charcoal with more pores is looser and has a relatively lower density. For the same weight, the volume will be larger. It is recommended to choose activated charcoal products with low density, light texture, and larger volume for the same weight. Additionally, smaller activated charcoal particles have greater contact area with air, larger specific surface area, and thus better adsorption performance.
