Vishal Jha / Ghaziabad: People across the country are facing the brunt of severe heat. Red alert for heat wave has been issued in many places including Rajasthan, Delhi and Punjab. To avoid the heat, you stay in coolers and ACs in your homes, but if you need to go somewhere by car and your car is parked in the sun, then if you sit in it immediately, it will first scorch you. Then it can also have some such side effects, which can be fatal.
Let us tell you that the temperature inside a car parked in the sun becomes double the temperature outside. If you sit in such a hot car and immediately turn on the AC, it can pose a big threat to your health. In such a situation, Local18 learned the medical solution to cool down a hot car from Ghaziabad’s senior doctor Dr. Brajpal Tyagi.
Dr. Brajpal Tyagi says that if the AC of the car is switched on immediately, the gas that comes from outside in the scorching heat and heatwave can be poisonous. In such a situation, you are at risk of getting a disease called bronchitis. This causes difficulty in breathing to people. Apart from this, when many chemicals enter the body through the nose, the risk of hypoxia also increases. In such a situation, some people may also get a heart attack after sitting in the car. This happens due to more chemicals entering than oxygen, so after sitting in the car, it is necessary to take in fresh air first.
take these precautions
As soon as you sit in the car, you should open the driver’s side door and turn on the ignition. After this, open all the windows of the car. If possible, open the doors as well. This will let out the hot air inside the car. Then turn on the AC in slow mode.
These days, sunshades should be installed on the car windows so that direct sunlight does not fall on the car and the temperature is maintained. It is important for the cabin of the car to remain cool so that the occupants of the car do not get dehydrated.
A basic first aid kit should be kept in the car. Apart from this, carry medicines for vomiting, diarrhea, stomach ache etc. Keep glucose or electrolyte powder with you.
