Baseline assessment of the density and diversity of birds around Matimba and Medupi power station
(North-West University, 2015)Bird populations are changing at unprecedented rates in response to human-induced changes to the global environment, and these rates of change are expected to accelerate over the coming decades. Changes in the levels of ... -
Influence of SO2 fumigation on growth, photosynthesis, lipoxygenase and peroxidase activities of soybean (Glycine max), in open–top chambers
(North-West University, 2012)Air pollutant exposure poses a health risk to humans and impacts negatively on agriculture. High levels of air pollution resulted in extensive crop damage and yield reduction in Europe and USA. The Highveld region in South ... -
Investigating sputtered thin film Pt-containing electrocatalysts for SO2(aq) electro-oxidation
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Environmental concerns, social, economic and political pressure, and new technologies are the main factors driving change in energy systems around the globe. Human life and development are inevitably dependent on energy ... -
Regulating sulphur dioxide emissions from platinum smelters in South Africa
(North-West University, 2018)Air pollution is a major cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) emission is regulated because of its detrimental effects on health and the environment. More stringent SO2 emission limits will be ... -
Sulphur dioxide oxidation mechanism on Pt surfaces : a DFT study
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Lately, significant interest has risen towards the development of renewable energy in order to lower fossil fuel consumption and its environmental impact. Hydrogen (H2) has been proposed as a viable alternative to fossil ...
