A report by the VOURIC revealed that over 45% of workers in Bengaluru, including traffic police, bus drivers, and sanitation workers, show early signs of reduced lung function. The primary cause is attributed to continuous exposure to air pollution and toxic dust emitted by vehicles. During a discussion on 'Protecting the Health of Protectors of the City' held in Bengaluru, the findings were presented.
