Hot air from WHO

From The Daily Telegraph:

Olympics spectators warned over air in Beijing

High levels of air pollution in Beijing could damage the health of many spectators at next years Olympic Games, a leading World Health Organisation expert has warned.

Dr Michal Krzyzanowski, said that air quality was so bad in the Chinese capital that those with a history of heart problems and those suffering from asthma should be aware they could be harmed.

As a 12-year resident of this city, Dr Krzyzanowski's statements strike me as unscientific, attention-seeking and alarmist.
