A viral video has highlighted the dangerous impact of extreme summer heat inside parked vehicles after a car windshield was reportedly shattered due to an exploding air freshener.
The incident shows how intense temperatures inside a closed vehicle can cause unexpected damage. According to experts, the temperature inside a parked car during summer can rise to 70–80°C, creating hazardous conditions for pressurized or heat-sensitive items.
Heat-Sensitive Items That Can Be Dangerous in Cars
| Item | Risk in High Heat |
|---|---|
| Air Fresheners | Can burst or explode |
| Perfumes | Pressure buildup may cause leakage or explosion |
| Lighters | Risk of explosion due to gas expansion |
| Aerosol Cans | May rupture under heat |
| Plastic Bottles | Can deform and release chemicals |
Experts warn that leaving such items inside a parked vehicle can lead to serious damage, including shattered glass, fire hazards, or even injury in extreme cases.
Authorities and safety specialists advise drivers to avoid keeping flammable or pressurized items inside cars during hot weather. Simple precautions can prevent costly damage and ensure passenger safety.
