مع موجات الحر .. لا تغلقوا نوافذ السيارة والأطفال داخلها دون وجود التكييف حتى وإن كان الوقت قصير.
According to Raising Children Australia, there are more effects of a hot day to children. “Overheated cars can cause children to suffer life-threatening heatstroke, rapid dehydration, suffocation and death.” Cars parked under shade can also cause deaths. So it is important to take extra precautions. “The younger the child, the greater the sensitivity to heatstroke, and the faster the child will dehydrate.”
On a hot day, the temperature inside a parked car can be as much as 40°C hotter than it is outside. On a cool day, the temperature can be over 20°C hotter. And most of this temperature rise happens within the first five minutes.
