Various metamorphoses can take place with things left behind in the car. Especially when it’s hot outside. Chocolate and chewing gum melt, plastic deforms, lighters explode… Strange things
In the heat, the enclosed space of the car interior turns into a kind of greenhouse, the temperature of which is several times higher than outside. However, interior decoration can withstand such extreme temperatures. What can not be said about things forgotten in the car. For example, the same bottle of water that was left in the cup holder. But what could happen to her?
The internet is full of headlines about how an unfinished water bottle can start a fire by refracting sunlight and focusing on seat covers or interior plastics. And they say a bottle of water, overheated, explodes. Well, well, we like to believe these scarecrows. But there is another, much more real danger in an abandoned water bottle waiting for a person. Let’s talk about her.
What have you heard about pathogens of intestinal infections like shigella, salmonella, E. coli? And meanwhile, all this, including staphylococci, candida fungi, and aspergillus, multiplies very easily in the water you left in the car. And the heat becomes a catalyst for bacterial growth. But how do they get into a closed bottle?
In fact, everything happens very simply. Lips touching the neck, small dust particles in the cabin, dirty hands – all this is a transport for bacteria. And the more a person touched a bottle of water and the more they drank from it, the faster processes that are unfavorable for people will develop inside.
The situation worsens if the drink left in the heat contains sugar. Bacteria, and in particular various yeasts, love the sweet environment and are grown in it, even despite the presence of preservatives.
But that is not everything. It turns out that when heated, plastic releases a metal called antimony, which is harmful to the body. As well as the substance bisphenol A, which affects the human body on a hormonal level, mimicking estrogen. Elevated levels of bisphenol A have been directly linked by scientists to diseases such as diabetes and even obesity.
In general, you should not be afraid of mythical dangers, but it is better to look at things realistically. A heated, unfinished water bottle is unlikely to set your car on fire. But it can completely ruin your health.
