Pollution Hazards for 2008 Olympic Spectators
By Jodi LaMarco
Dr. Michal Krzyzanowski of the World Health Organization warns that pollution in Beijing could be a health hazard to spectators of the 2008 Olympics.
According to Krzyzanowski, "Exposure to high pollution levels may be a trigger to serious problems if they (spectators) already have, for instance, cardio-vascular disease. Those who come with asthma may suffer attacks."
The World Bank places Beijing among the top 20 most polluted cities in the world.
