Sitting in a car and being exposed to the sun regularly can lead to cancer.
As the temperature increases, the rubber and plastic in the car will start to evaporate. If exposed for a long time, people can have some respiratory problems and lead to cancer.
A study reported shocking statistics that leaving your car in the sun for just 40 minutes at 35 degrees Celsius is enough to turn your car into a “toaster” with a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius.

| Sitting in a car exposed to the sun regularly can lead to serious health problems. |
In particular, the longer your car is exposed to the sun, the faster its temperature will increase. This not only seriously affects your car but also affects the health of the people in the car.
Specifically, under the influence of weather conditions, many parts of the car can be degraded, easily becoming harmful to the owner's health. When the temperature increases, some materials in the car's interior such as rubber and vinyl will begin to evaporate, while the oil and solvents inside the material will evaporate.
They will form a film on the car windows and you can easily notice when the sun shines in. The film and the smell in the car will not cause immediate harm, but if exposed for a long time, people may have some respiratory problems and lead to cancer.

| The experiment was exposed to sunlight at 100 degrees F (37.7 degrees C) for 60 minutes. At this time, the temperature on the dashboard reached 157 degrees F (equivalent to 70 degrees C). |
According to research by American scientists, when the temperature inside the car reaches 50 degrees Celsius, toxic substances will evaporate, and this phenomenon is scientifically called heatstroke or hyperthermia. Or more simply, this phenomenon is similar to the "greenhouse" effect that you often hear about in the media.
Besides, the unpredictable harm of having to sit at work or work in hot environments for men also affects reproductive health.
According to obstetrician and gynecologist Le Thi Minh Chau, men who bathe in water that is too hot, sit in a hot car seat, wear tight pants, sit for long hours at work in the office, smoke, drink alcohol, work in an environment exposed to many chemicals, drive long distances, etc. can affect their reproductive health and easily become infertile.
For children, sitting in a car exposed to the hot sun has caused many unfortunate consequences. In the US, from January to May 2018, 6 children died in cars. Every year, an average of 37 children die for this reason. The cause comes from the carelessness and forgetfulness of adults.
Research from Arizona State University and the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine shows that the heat from cars parked in the sun can have serious health effects, even causing death. The research from the two universities focused on the harmful effects on children under 2 years old - the group most likely to be "forgotten" in cars.
In reality, many parents think that just leaving their children in the car, going to the supermarket to do some quick shopping and then coming out right away will be fine. However, within 30 minutes to 1 hour, under the heat from above and the road surface, the car becomes a mini "greenhouse", causing heat shock to the child or pet in the car. In the car, the child's body temperature rises to 40 degrees Celsius and cannot cool down, causing hyperthermia.
