Will exposing a new car to the sun in summer damage it?
1 Answers
Exposing a new car to the sun in summer can indeed cause damage. Here are the specific impacts of prolonged sun exposure on vehicles: 1. It leads to a significant increase in formaldehyde levels inside the car: High summer temperatures can activate pollution release from various sources inside the vehicle, which may become carcinogenic over time. Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a strong pungent odor, posing severe health risks. 2. It accelerates vehicle aging: Prolonged exposure speeds up the deterioration of car paint and interior plastics; ultraviolet rays hasten the aging of plastic components, rubber parts (such as tires), and paintwork. After extended sun exposure, opening the car door often releases a sharp, unpleasant odor.
