Aerosol source apportionment in southern Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)South Africa, and especially the Highveld region, contributes significantly to the atmospheric aerosol loading over southern Africa. South Africa has recognised the importance of localised air quality and its impact on ... -
Characterisation of respirable indoor particulate matter in South African low-income settlements
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Air pollution is a leading health risks that individuals face daily. Emissions and contribution from scheduled industrial sources has been a focus within South Africa air quality management for decades. In recent years, ... -
Characteristics and transport of atmospheric aerosols over the Namibian coast
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)It is well understood that on various scales in the atmosphere, the transport, dispersion, accumulation, transformation and deposition of aerosols is driven by atmospheric dynamics, meteorological conditions and topographical ... -
The configuration of the East Rand Basin surface runoff model used for source apportionment studies
(North-West University (South Africa), 2015)Numerous mines have been operating in the East Rand Basin (ERB) since the 1940s. Most of these mining activities have since ceased and the mines are busy flooding . If decant of acid mine drainage takes place, treatment ... -
An integrated systems approach towards air quality management in the Vaal Triangle Priority Area
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)The quality of air breathed in South Africa is of great concern, especially in the industrialised region of the Vaal Triangle where particulate matter (PM) concentrations are high. Long term exposure to PM is associated ... -
