FYI for those of you who photograph in the southwest U.S.: a major 1,580 megawatt coal-fired power plant affecting air quality in the Grand Canyon area will shut down next week (apparently the utility is shutting the entire plant down, although according to this article:
www.grandcanyontrust.org/programs/air/mohave.php
the plant is not legally required to shut down entirely until April).
This is of course only one source of air pollution in the area (I know there is a smaller plant outside of Page, Arizona that generates a bunch of junk). But maybe it's not too much to hope for at least some reduction in the haze that obscures this area each year!
