Olympics Weather Forecasting

The pollution in Beijing is so bad, that weather forecasts during the Olympics will include "pollution days." In Los Angeles County, we used to have smog alerts, when the air quality was so "unhealthful" that kids weren't even allowed outside for recess or lunch. Imagine playing Heads Up Seven Up in a sunny classroom, and that's how bad smog levels were in the 1980's. Will we see "pollution delays" during the 2008 Olympics, like other weather delays? That certainly looks like the case.
