BEIJING -- Here is the PhilCam view at 8:15 a.m. on Saturday in Beijing. ‘You can sort of see the flame,’ reports PhilCam operator and blogger Philip Hersh. ‘Pollution indices creeping to right below hazardous for sensitive people.’

The Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau website has relevant air pollution data. The Chaoyang District is home to the Olympic Green, where much of the Olympic action will occur. Rowing will be contested in the Renhe Town station in the Shunyi District.
