[quote=GRIZ326,240440]A blanket of smog/pollution laid over all of China during my 3 week visit this year. It appears much worse than last year, although that could be the weather conditions during my visit. The pollution in Beijing appears severe enough to have an impact on Olympic performances. The only place I found with clear air were the Miao villages - not even Emei Shan was free of the smog. Having grown up in the former steel town of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I remember pollution as thick as what I saw this summer. It had serious health implications for people my age and older. But Pittsburgh has clean skies now. It took leaders about 20 years to clean up the air, but they did succeed. I hope it does not take as long in China as it did in Pittsburgh. What are you thoughts?[/quote]
