With only 3 days to go until the Games most of the world’s eyes are focused firmly on Beijing. However, the pollution levels are still abnormally high and there are plans for all endurance events over 1 hour to be delayed if the pollution levels are too bad. Also, the fact is unknown how bad the pollution has to be before the event is postponed. Beijing has tried some drastic measures to clean the air up before the games like one-third of Beijing cars 3.3 million have been taken off the roads. on Monday, the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau called it a ‘blue sky day’. But the BBC’s own test found one major pollutant, particulate matter, was almost six times higher than the recommended level.The World Health Organization’s target is 50 micrograms per cubic metre. But they recorded levels in Beijing at 292 micrograms on Monday.
I think that Beijing needs to hurry up and take supreme measures to ensure that the games are not delayed.

I sure wouldn’t want to be an asthmatic athlete competing in Beijing. I’m sure that they will be at a disadvantage.
