China takes action over air fears
Updated on 15 February 2008
China is having to close one in 10 petrol stations in the capital Beijing to deal with air pollution fears ahead of this summer's Olympics.
More than 150 will be shut by the end of May because it would cost too much fit them with special nozzles to return petrol fumes to the underground storage tanks rather than allow them to disperse into the air.
Concerns over hot, polluted air in Beijing during the August games have seen national Olympic committees scrambling for ways to protect their athletes, especially those competing in outdoor endurance events.
