Funny you should mention that. Here's an email that I received a few weeks ago, from a circuit board manufacturer in Colorado.



Dear Scott,



For our Printed Circuit Board customers using Chinese vendors, please be aware of the following air quality policy announcement from Chinese authorities:



In preparation for the Olympics, China has announced a factory shutdown for 9 weeks to clear smog and improve air quality in a 200 kilometer radius of Beijing. The shutdown begins July 17th and will extend until September 20th. Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and Shandong provinces are affected by the shutdown.



If air quality does not improve before the start of the Olympics, there may be an expansion of the shutdown. There are concerns there could also be a bottleneck at two main ports.



All this to say that if you have a PCB vendor in the affected area, we are available to take care of your printed circuit board requirements. In addition to our large fabrication facility here in Aurora, we also have offshore partners in other non-affected countries that are available to handle the larger volumes.

Apparently the new 911 if you were to drive it in downtown L.A. the air going into the airbox is dirtier than the stuff coming out of the exhaust!

A Prius or Focus PZEV the air is so clean, you could pipe your exhaust into the cabin, and never need clean air again.
