The General Directorate of Civil Defense in Abu Dhabi warned of the leaving sanitisers, other inflammable items and perfumes inside vehicles that may cause explosion as a result of high temperatures as the summer is approaching.

Most of the sterilisers contain flammable alcoholic materials, and direct exposure to sun and a high temperature inside the vehicles, could lead to explosion, which threatens the health of individuals, and cause great property damage.

It also called on drivers not to completely close the vehicle's windows, especially when parked in the sunlight. Furthermore, they are advised not to leave any sterilization materials, perfumes, or any flammable materials such as "lighters" and others inside the vehicle.
