Just that it was far less than it had been in years. ^_^<br/><br/>Millions of cars not polluting the city for a week has a big impact, when the Olympic Games were in China entire cities were the games were held were shutdown to make them smog as free as possible and it had an immediate effect. I followed the news reports daily back then and it was an interesting development. There hadn't been any rain at the time, so though rain will undoubtedly help, it's not a prerequisite.<br/><br/>For the smog to be gone completely it'd likely take months, maybe even years.
