It is not difficult to use cars safely during the epidemic. It is not difficult to avoid excessive "disinfection", but it is counterproductive.

At present, the most important thing in the epidemic is isolation and disinfection. In many cities, 84 disinfectant and alcohol are simply not available. Many car owners and friends blindly use these two liquids to disinfect their cars, but they have achieved unexpected results. Originally, the car was clean, but after disinfection, it became a mess, which was simply a car crash. What is the reason? Everyone neglected the proportion of disinfectant. Let's be specific. We must avoid excessive disinfection in the car.

1 84 disinfectant and alcohol are corrosive and need to be diluted before use.

Disinfectant is a strong alkaline liquid, which has strong corrosive and drifting effects. Don't spray it on the internal parts of the car. 75% of medical alcohol is also flammable, and disinfection in the car is not easy. Moreover, alcohol will corrode the inner surface, which will bring irreversible and serious consequences. The above two liquids also have serious damage to the surface of interior leather. The dilution ratio with water should be at least 1: 10.

The above picture is caused by netizens wiping the inside with undiluted 84 disinfectant. The photos come from the internet. It can be seen that the consequences are very serious. There is a need for disinfection in the car, and there is another solution, that is, online shopping for special disinfection paper towels for cars, which also has the function of polishing.

2. Don't wear a mask excessively when driving. You can breathe freely by yourself.

When traveling by private car, I still drive alone many times now, especially when some companies have started to work. We can see that many car owners still drive with masks in their cars, which is actually unnecessary. When you are outdoors and wearing a mask, the air you can breathe is stale and very stuffy. You should put on a mask again in the narrow space in the car. I feel suffocated anyway. How do droplets and viruses spread when you are alone in the car? Put on a mask, get on the bus and close the door. You can take off your mask and drive to your destination. I don't think there is any problem.

3. Be sure to use the air conditioner for internal circulation when driving, and don't open the window or skylight.

Many car owners are afraid of bacteria floating in the air, so they simply close their cars completely, do not open windows for ventilation, do not open skylights, and even the air conditioner has been in an internal circulation state. In this way, the air in the car becomes very turbid. If you wear a mask and refuse to take it off, you may be a little short of oxygen after a long time. In fact, the ventilation in the car is just like the need to open the window regularly at home. It takes a long time to drive, so it is enough to open the window every half an hour or so.

In addition, the air conditioner in the car can be turned on to the external circulation state to increase ventilation. The filter element of the air conditioner itself is enough to prevent pollutants from entering the air inside the car. Don't be too superstitious about the so-called high-end PM2.5 filter, it's just some gimmicks of the merchants. The original filter element of 4S shop can definitely meet your needs.

4. Briefly summarize the safety of self-driving during the epidemic.

Everyone's usual driving environment is outdoor roads, which can be said to be a well-ventilated environment. It can be said that there is no way for the virus to spread. The best way for us to prevent the virus from spreading indoors is to open the window for ventilation. When the wind blows in, the bacteria and viruses will definitely be diluted, and the safety risk will be much lower. Therefore, the driving environment is actually better than home, and the air has been circulating at a high speed. It's a good idea to open more windows or skylights. Can you think about it? Do you have a N95 filter in your window? No, so don't hesitate to drive for ventilation. Don't confine yourself in a narrow mobile space. Ventilation is the first priority.

Summary: It should be said that there is basically no need to worry about virus infection for cars driving on outdoor open roads. Driving on the road during the epidemic, don't panic too much, scaring yourself is the most terrible thing. There is no risk of infection when driving alone. If there are other people in the car, it is best to wear masks separately.
