I spent a month in China in the summerof 2006. My experience is that air and water quality was horrible. I've been in LA and Denver on bad air days and they aren't as bad as Beijing on a regular day. My eyes burned the whole time I was there. Will you die from running a marathon in that air? I doubt it, but I could see an asthmatic having more trouble there than he would in most places.
