Air Emissions, Air Quality and Energy Efficiency Monitoring for Prioritisation of Pollution Preventions and Public Health in the Region of Mpumalanga Highveld Conurbation
Viability assessment and outline plan for regional air quality monitoring on the Highveld, including institutional arrangements and information gaps, for industry, regulators and community bodies.
by Prof HJ Annegarn, MA Kneen, M Josipovic & MFF Ferraz | October 2004
A regional monitoring programme was found to be viable and is proposed as a public private partnership covering air emissions, air quality and energy efficiency on the Mpumalanga Highveld. The assessment concluded that the worst health impacts fall on residential areas, driven by inefficient coal burning for heating and by housing sited close to large industry.
