Elly has previously posted about the air pollution she has experienced in China. With the upcoming Olympics, there has been quite a bit of interest in this situation.
Today I saw a video clip of an Italian marathoner expressing concern about the athletes performing in these conditions. He sees it as a mental challenge to overcome since you will be able to feel and taste the air pollution as you breath it in.
Other than shutting down some of the major polluters for a while, I'm not sure what China can do to significantly improve air quality in a short amount of time.
The question and responsibility really falls in the hands of the International Olympic Committee.
