Filed under: Asia
Reuters reports: "Chinese city traffic police have an average life expectancy of just 43 years because of the dire working conditions and pollution, state media said on Tuesday. Pollution was the chief culprit, but stress, traffic noise and standing long periods in the sun were also to blame.More than 90 percent of the 2,746 traffic police who underwent a check-up in Guangzhou had infections. Guangzhou, with a population of about 10 million, is home to 1.8 million cars and other vehicles, and the number is increasing by 16 percent annually."
