According to a RWMC spokesman, the Company’s communication and social mobilization team distributed pamphlets emphasizing the importance and effectiveness of cleanliness, as well as the hazards of smog. The teams also asked the residents to ensure the spraying of water to prevent dust and to use masks and glasses.
