Carrard and others suggested that the selection might lead to improvements in human rights in China. In addition, many IOC delegates who had formerly been athletes expressed concern about heat and air quality during the Games, considering the high levels of air pollution in Beijing. China outlined plans to address these environmental concerns in its bid application.<a href="#cite_note-auto1-6">[3]</a> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>2008 Summer Olympics bidding results
