Cars can also damage brain

Did you know that the temperature inside a parked car in the sun so high? This thing is caused by the heat trapped by the glass film. With the hot temperatures that can cause serious brain damage in just 20 minutes, if someone was locked in a hot car.

People who are most susceptible with heat are Children. There a lot of cases of children left behind in the car, for example due to overslept. In Australia, at least 1500 children trapped in a car that’s overheating during the period November to in Dec. 2011.

According to Prof Peter O'Meara from La Trobe University "If the outside temperature is 29 degrees centigrade, the cabin temperature could rise to 44 degrees Celsius in 10 minutes and to 60 degrees centigrade in the next 10 minutes and it's very deadly". Prof. O'Meara also says that the brain damage caused by the heat left in the car can cause loss of consciousness. If do not get immediate relief, can be directly passed away, especially if the damage is very serious.

Children are more susceptible to brain damage when overheated because of that age are much easier to lose body fluids or dehydrated. Body tissues including the brain very easily damaged if the fluid level is reduced

To prevent this, Prof. O'Meara suggested not leaving children in the car. Or you can also always lock car doors when parked so that children can not enter and then trapped in the car
