Is It Okay to Leave a New Car Exposed to the Sun?
1 Answers
The hazards of leaving a new car exposed to the sun are as follows: 1. Plastic component aging: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause plastic parts to age and crack, shortening the vehicle's lifespan. 2. Formaldehyde emission: Car interiors can release harmful gases like formaldehyde under high temperatures. Inhaling these gases can be harmful to human health. While exposure to sunlight may help dissipate these gases faster, it also generates a large amount of gas in a short period, which is difficult to eliminate and can negatively affect passengers. 3. Paint damage: Prolonged exposure to the sun may cause the vehicle to spontaneously combust. Additionally, due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of metal and paint, it can lead to surface cracking.
