Many media houses, especially newspapers, routinely publish carbon statistics and air quality indices to keep their respective audiences informed, so that they may take, when needed, appropriate pre- cautionary measures.

Mainstream publications would do well to allocate a section for highlighting air quality status of major urban centres on a daily basis.
