The fact that you do often get the best skies on Sunday and Monday when more cars have been off the street, makes me think it should make a huge difference.

It's been known for years and years and years that asthmatics are better off living in arid areas. And I'd like to second what both Lazy Aussie and Cat say.

Of course the air will be clean because all the factories in the provinces surrounding Beijing will have to shut down during the Olympics. That won't help us for all the other weeks in the year, though.
