Air Pollution A Growing Environmental Challenge In SA: Experts – Xavier Radio Ug

Experts say air pollution is a growing environmental challenge in South Africa.
They say although focus is on large industries that burn fossil fuels, releasing air pollutants they are not the biggest contributors to poor air quality.
The North West University’s professor Roelof Burger says, “Unfortunately, many times the things that you see might be, for example, steam rising out of a factory, and these are, although very important, it’s not the only things that is emitting air pollutants. Of course, vehicles, the cars that we drive is a big culprit and in open fields where there’s wind blowing, you will see the dust coming off the open areas. And then every other activity that humans are busy with, almost every one of them will contribute to bad air quality.”
