"The spectre of hundreds of athletes parading into the opening ceremony arrayed as if ready for chemical warfare is a serious nightmare for Chinese officials. But America's cloak-and-dagger tone only amuses Canada's top Olympic doctor Robert McCormack."

"Nonetheless, Canada has a parallel, though less-heralded, program.

"We have done a fair amount of work experimenting with different masks," McCormack said. Along with the team's other essential supplies, a shipment of Canadian masks have already landed in Beijing. Though the athletes will not wear them during competition, they might consider using them when moving around outdoors."

My son lives and works in China (helping to start up a small solar manuf company)and he said that the Olympics there will be a disaster b/c of the pollution. He said that the air there is always at least as bad as the air in San Diego after the wildfires when schools were all closed for a week b/c of the terrible air.
