And that's what they got. They were not necessarily planning for something else: an unprecedented experiment using satellites to measure the impact of air pollution controls. Taking advantage of the opportunity, NASA researchers have since analyzed data from NASA's Aura and Terra satellites that show how key pollutants responded to the Olympic restrictions.

Sure, basically shut transportation and heavy industry down and pollution goes way down.

Okay, so does meaningful production, but who's counting?

That begs the question, how much pollution and hot air would we save if we shut Washington down?
