2008 Beijing Olympics: Clear the Air First!

by Brian Yalung on Saturday, August 18th, 2007

Beijing Pollution

From what has been gathered, many are eagerly awaiting the 2008 Olympics to be held in Beijing. With bare some months to go, various criticisms have been solicited regarding the overall healthy environment of Beijing, particularly its worsening pollution problem that may not be entirely good for athletes coming in from various parts of the world.

While Beijing is attempting to reduce the pollution problem in time for the event, many are doubting the feasibility of choice for holding the event in Beijing to date. Containing the pollution problem at this point of time sounds a bit too late. But changing the venue of the Olympics may be a death wish of sorts as it will likely be cancelled due to lack of preparations. Of course this is a remote possibility.

Participating countries may opt not to participate if they feel that the environmental conditions governing Beijing at the moment are indeed becoming hazardous. However, don’t be surprised if you see various athletes wearing face masks to avoid inhaling health risk fumes once the Olympics commence.
