Will exposing a new car to the summer sun damage it?

Exposing a new car to the summer sun can indeed cause damage. Here are the specific details: Surge in formaldehyde levels: This can lead to a significant increase in formaldehyde concentration inside the car. High summer temperatures can activate the release of pollutants from various sources, which over time may even be carcinogenic. Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a strong pungent odor and poses severe health risks. Accelerated vehicle aging: It speeds up the aging of car paint and interior plastics. UV rays can hasten the deterioration of plastic components, rubber parts (such as tires), and paint. After prolonged exposure to the sun, opening the car door may release a pungent odor. The air quality inside the car deteriorates after sun exposure, potentially affecting humans more significantly than the car itself.
