Modelling the long-range transport and transformation of air pollutants over the Southern African region
(North-West University, 2006)
Dispersion modelling of transport, diffusion and chemical transformation of pollutants and trace gases over the Southern African region which spans between 52o South to 1o North, 28o West to 68o East, presents a special ...
Monitoring and analysis of semi-volatile organic compounds in ambient air
(North-West University, 2006)
The growing concern for environmental pollution indicates the importance of
correctly predicting the fate of pollutants in ambient air. This study was conducted to predict the ambient levels of polycyclic aromatic ...
Spatial and temporal distribution of trace elements in aerosols in the Vaal Triangle
(North-West University, 2008)
The Vaal Triangle, largely an industrialized area and a so-called "air pollution hot spot" in South Africa, was declared as the first air pollution priority area in South Africa on the 21st of April 2006. In such an ...
Identification and comparison of the volatile organic compound concentrations in ambient air in the Cape Town metropolis and the Vaal Triangle
(North-West University, 2006)
The growing concern for environmental problems underlines the importance of correctly predicting the fate of pollutants released into the environment. In the case of VOCs, this is a complex task due to the large number of ...
Concentrations and deposition of atmospheric species at regional sites in southern Africa
(North-West University, 2009)
Increasing atmospheric emissions of trace gases as a result of fast-growing economies like South Africa, especially those of SO2 and NO2, are a major environmental concern. The air quality and thus air chemistry of a region ...
The impact of hydrocarbon emissions on regional air quality in a South African metropolitan area
(North-West University, 2008)
The understanding of the source, transport, fate and impact of anthropogenic emissions is critical if the management of air pollution is to be effective in improving and sustaining acceptable air quality in a given area. ...
Modelling atmospheric chemical transformations under South African conditions
(Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2000)
South Africa is in the process of adapting to new social and economical structures. The government has made it clear that the creation of work and economic growth is of the utmost importance. This policy will put South ...
Factors influencing the use of solid phase microextraction techniques for environmental analysis of industrial waste water
(North-West University, 2004)
The goal of an analytical laboratory is to have a high sample throughput, quick turnaround time and reduced operating costs. In most of the cases, a sample preparation step is necessary to prepare the sample for the specific ...
Spatial and temporal assessment of pollutants in the Highveld Priority Area, South Africa
(North-West University, 2008)
One of the major concerns that has been facing South Africa in recent years is the amount of gaseous pollutants emitted into the atmosphere. The Mpumalanga province is largely an industrialised area, which contributes ...
Monitoring the levels of toxic metals of atmospheric particulate matter in the Rustenburg district
(North-West University, 2006)
Ambient air quality has been monitored in South Africa for the last four decades using a variety of methods. There is however, no agreed method and system in function to monitor the levels of heavy metals in ambient air ...
