The rather brilliant idea comes from the authorities responsible for urban sanitation in Nanjing, in the Jiangsu province, located in eastern China
Forty degrees is too much and represents a threshold within which human endurance must increasingly cope, especially when working under such conditions. And here comes the “air-conditioned vest” in China, which at least in theory should provide the right relief for the ecological operators in Nanjing. The battery is portable and the vests are equipped with two fans, absolutely silent, which would circulate air to accelerate sweat evaporation, according to the idea. And the autonomy? An authentic sword of Damocles for any type of battery, it ranges from three to four hours and doing the math, it would be perfect for recharging during lunch breaks, much to the delight of the power bank. With the afternoon shift ready to be thankful. However, the dilemma remains, beyond China, of the extreme conditions in which many categories of workers find themselves operating, working outdoors, with the heatwave that seems to provide no respite, significantly increasing health risks. But the cultural matrix still seems to have not taken the right course, which obviously does not seem to be that of the Chinese vest, a measure we will not comment on, but rather a growth and awareness towards this condition from everyone.
