VAAL TRIANGLE - The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment says air pollution continues to be a leading national environmental human health risk, especially in metropolitan and priority areas. Six of the world’s 10 largest nitrogen dioxide emission hotspots were in South Africa, with thermal power stations in the country making up nine out of the ten largest nitrogen dioxide point sources. The Vaal Triangle is among those considered a hot spot where air pollution is a problem. The department’s Patience Gwaze told Parliament that they are strengthening the implementation of the air quality management plans in priority areas.
