South Africa, like other developing countries, has been facing air
quality challenges. As a highly industrialised country, industrial
emissions both from power generations and mining activities
contribute significantly to ambient air pollution. Other sources
of emissions come from the agricultural sector (including dust
and biomass burning) and veld fires, especially during winter
and spring. In both small and large townships, the major source
of air pollution is domestic solid fuel burning both for cooking
and space warming. Air quality management, therefore, has to
struggle with the complex mix of these sources of emissions
