6 things you should not put in the trunk of a motorbike in hot weather
(Baonghean.vn) - Thinking that having a spacious trunk and high "security" capabilities, many people often put personal items in the trunk without knowing that this can cause unpredictable consequences.
1. Electronic equipment
Phones, iPads, laptops... are electronic devices that should never be put in the trunk of a car.
With the heat from the trunk radiating from the engine near the trunk combined with the hot sun when traveling on the road in the summer and the saddle closed, the temperature in the trunk can reach over 40 degrees.
This level of heat can reduce the lifespan of electronic devices; moreover, the battery is a sensitive part, when it gets too hot, it can explode and release toxic chemicals, which are very dangerous for the skin, eyes...

2. Lighter
Lighters are the second item that should never be placed in the trunk of a car. Similar to electronic devices, high temperatures in the trunk can cause the lighter to explode, endangering the driver.

3. Carbonated soft drink can
No one could have imagined that a can of carbonated soft drink used to quench thirst on the street could turn into a "bomb" causing a terrible explosion.
When the temperature in the trunk of the car will cause the pressure in the can to increase while the gas is compressed strongly, the sweet "bomb" will explode more easily than ever.

4. Sunscreen
It's hard for women to believe that sunscreen, which has many uses in the summer and seems harmless, can have terrible consequences.
First, the high temperature in the trunk will cause the ingredients in the cream to decompose, reducing the product's effectiveness. Next, if the cream tube is "simmered" for too long in a hot and closed trunk, it can explode.
Although, exploding sunscreen tubes are not as harmful as the above items, they still make you have to clean up your trunk.

5. Bottled water
Some studies have shown that the plastics used to make bottles contain BPA and phthalates, which can cause cancer and heart disease. High temperatures can cause these chemicals to leach into the water.
Not to mention, if the water bottle has been in the trunk for a long time, it will develop bacteria that are harmful to the human body.

6. Medicines, functional foods
Medicines are products that need to be stored in a cool, dry place to ensure their inherent effects. Therefore, if some types of backup medicine are left in the trunk of your car, over time they will deteriorate, reducing the quality of the medicine, even endangering the user.
