Comments on: Highest PM10 since 9 July (BBC) http://pyongyangsquare.com/beijingair/?p=96 just how bad is it?

Is there a possibility that the BBC's "Hand Held device" took other particulates into account, or amount particulates do increase dramatically within a short period of time? Thank you, Tom ok, so, it gonna be smoggy on 8/8/08?

i don’t understand, why PM10 reading can increase so sharply within a short period of time.

Is there a possibility that the BBC’s “Hand Held device” took other particulates into account, or amount particulates do increase dramatically within a short period of time?

Thank you, Tom

Mr John Coates is Australia's top Olympic official. Scrolling down further you can click on Beijing Smog Watch to see a series of 5 daily photos dated (left to right) 31 July, 30, 29, 25, 24. The photo of the Olympic Village was taken yesterday 4 Aug at 8.58am It will be interesting to see if the ABC keeps this series going, I am sure Chinese diplomats here will be quietly "making representations" that the series should be pulled. PS: I could not get the 5 smog watch photos to work in Internet Explorer but Firefox worked fine. I have saved them all by screen dumps.
