Shanghai traffic police have been issued with nasal filters to help them withstand the city's choking smog.
The city's Songjiang district traffic police department said it had given the U-shaped nose plugs to 240 officers for an initial trial.
The scheme may be extended to rest of the city's traffic police if successful, according to state media reports.
The department decided to provide nasal filters – which it called "invisible masks" – because unlike traditional masks they would not hinder officers from shouting and blowing whistles.
