Can Perfume Be Placed in a Car?

[AidenAnn]

Perfume should not be placed in a car. It is not suitable for all environments due to its unique composition. Perfume contains high concentrations of alcohol, which is highly volatile, making it a significant hazard when placed inside a vehicle. Since perfume bottles are relatively enclosed, they can easily expand under high temperatures, posing a risk. Additionally, glass perfume bottles can focus sunlight entering the car into a single point, potentially causing a fire. Therefore, it is best to avoid placing perfume in a car. Items that should not be left in a car during summer: Lighters: Ordinary lighters mainly contain liquid butane, which is highly flammable and explosive. High concentrations of butane can explode at room temperature (20°C). If the environmental temperature exceeds 55°C, the lighter's volume will expand. When the outdoor temperature is above 30°C, the interior of a parked car can reach 60-70°C. Perfume: As mentioned, perfume bottles are relatively enclosed and can expand under high temperatures, creating a hazard. Additionally, the glass bottle can focus sunlight into a single point, potentially causing a fire. Transparent glass bottles: Any transparent glass object can reflect sunlight. If it focuses sunlight onto a single point, it can generate high temperatures and cause combustion. Power banks: Power banks are labeled to avoid high-temperature environments, as they can become dangerous under such conditions. Electronic devices: Devices like smartphones contain intricate circuit boards that can be easily damaged when exposed to high temperatures inside a car for extended periods. Batteries are even more dangerous, as they can swell or even explode in high temperatures. Therefore, electronic devices should never be placed on the dashboard (under direct sunlight) or on the rear shelf near the window. Reading glasses: Reading glasses act as convex lenses and can focus light. If exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, the focused light can rapidly increase the temperature at the focal point. Low-quality CDs: CDs are made of optical plastic (polycarbonate) coated with an aluminum film and a protective layer. Polycarbonate contains large amounts of bisphenol A and benzene, which can diffuse into the air when the car's interior temperature exceeds 60°C.
