Our first couple days in Beijing were met with unclear skies and heavy smog. Thursday, June 18 was apparently one of the most polluted days in recent history… but of course we didn’t find this out until several days later. I’d really like to know the stats on respiratory problems for people living in Beijing. I know for the Olympics they were able to clean up the air substantially, I wish those policies stuck post-Summer 2008.
