Improper use of air conditioning in the car can be fatal? !

In the long summer, it will get hotter and hotter. The first thing after the car starts is to turn on the air conditioner, but do you know that improper air conditioning will hurt the car and even threaten our health and even life?

Can sleeping with the air conditioner on in the car lead to death?

At about noon on July 1 1, a man was found dead in a private car in the garage in a residential area near the intersection of Hezuohua Road and Qingxi Road in Hefei. At the time of the incident, the four doors of the car were closed, the engine was not turned off, and the car air conditioner was on all night.

The death of the man in the car initially ruled out the possibility that the doors and windows could not be ventilated when the air conditioner was turned on, which eventually led to the death of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The space inside the car is narrow. When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the car reaches a certain value, people will be in a coma and their brains will be deprived of oxygen. Generally, when the carbon dioxide content in the air exceeds 1%, people will have a mild poisoning reaction; When it exceeds 3%, dyspnea begins to appear; More than 6% will cause severe poisoning or even death.

In a closed garage, driving an air-conditioned car will produce a lot of carbon monoxide, and the concentration of carbon monoxide will seriously exceed the standard in just 20 minutes. There is a clear sense of suffocation. No matter what kind of vehicle pipe is set to internal circulation or external circulation, carbon oxides in the garage will run into the compartment.
