There are several things that can destroy vinyl records:

1. Heat: Exposing vinyl records to high temperatures can cause warping and makes them unplayable. The ideal storage temperature for vinyl records is below 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Humidity: High humidity can lead to mold growth on the records. It can also cause the sleeves and jackets to degrade. The ideal humidity for storing vinyl records is between 45-50%.

3. sunlight: Excessive exposure to sunlight can cause the color of the vinyl to fade and the plastic to degrade.

4. Dust: Dust can scratch the surface of the record and cause noise while playing. It can also lead to the growth of bacteria and fungi.

5. improper storage: Storing vinyl records vertically, stacking them, or leaving them on the player can damage them.
