Whether it's a new car or an old one, prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause damage to the car's paint, interior, plastic components, and more. Here are the hazards of exposing a car to intense sunlight: 1. Damage to the paint: It can harm the car's paint and accelerate the aging of the paint surface. Additionally, the window seals may also age faster, leading to poor sealing and potential water leakage. 2. Release of toxic gases from the interior: Extended exposure to sunlight can cause the interior to emit toxic gases. Materials such as leather, fabrics, composite materials, and rubber in the interior can release toxic gases like formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons after being exposed to sunlight. 3. Accelerated tire aging: Tires exposed to prolonged sunlight may experience aging, softening, and deformation. When driving at high speeds, the increased tire temperature raises the risk of a blowout.
