Air pollution in the Chinese capital on Sunday almost completely hid the venues. (July 27)With the opening ceremonies of the summer Olympics just 12 days away, key Olympic venues in the host city Beijing are barely visible. It appears that dramatic efforts to clear the air in the Chinese capital haven't worked. More than a million and a half cars have been pulled off the streets. Factories have been closed. Construction has been largely halted. (NATS IN MANDARIN)A Chinese officials says much of the appearance of the air Sunday was a result of fog. He also says that once pollution has accumulated, it's hard to it to dissipate. Even the temporary homes for athletes were hard to see due to the murky air. The Olympic village opened Sunday in a colorful ceremony that included basketball star Yao Ming. 16-thousand athletes and officials will live in the sprawling complex. The village will contain a restaurant that can feed five-thousand people. There are teahouses, a barbershop, post office, a fire station, shopping and more. (NATS IN MANDARIN)Officials acknowledge the importance of improved air quality for the athletes. They promise to do what they can to ensure a good environment for endurance events. China has one of the world's fastest growing economies. But that growth has led to choking pollution. ___ ___, The Associated Press. |
