Summer Safety!

The video discusses the dangers of heat exposure in cars, especially for children. Researchers found that car interiors can reach extreme temperatures quickly, posing a significant risk to children left inside. A study using a human heat exchange model showed that a child's core temperature can reach dangerous levels in just one hour in the sun and under two hours in the shade. Different car types warm at varying rates, with economy cars heating fastest. The findings aim to inspire new safety measures to prevent child fatalities and injuries.

What temperature can the interior of a car reach in just one hour on a sunny day?

• 130 degrees Fahrenheit

• 85 degrees Fahrenheit

• 116 degrees Fahrenheit

• 100 degrees Fahrenheit

How long does it take for a child's core temperature to reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit in a hot car?

• 2 hours

• 3 hours

• 1 hour

• 30 minutes

Does parking a car in the shade significantly prevent the rise in a child's core temperature?

• No, it has no effect at all

• Yes, it reduces the temperature by half

• No, it only slightly delays it

• Yes, it completely prevents it

Which type of car heats up the fastest according to the study?

• Sedans
