Beijing’s Olympic Quest: Turn Smoggy Sky Blue

Beijing’s Olympic Quest: Turn Smoggy Sky Blue - New York Times:

"BEIJING — Every day, monitoring stations across the city measure air pollution to determine if the skies above this national capital can officially be designated blue. It is not an act of whimsy: with Beijing preparing to play host to the 2008 Olympic Games, the official Blue Sky ratings are the city’s own measuring stick for how well it is cleaning up its polluted air."
