Tropospheric ozone assessment report
The Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR), an activity of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Project (IGAC), has become a major international framework for assessing tropospheric ozone as an air pollutant, greenhouse gas, and ecosystem stressor from the surface to the tropopause. This contribution summarizes the evolution, scientific achievements, and remaining challenges of TOAR-I and TOAR-II, and outlines priorities for a poss…
Social Networks Within the City
This study examines the social networks of informal recyclers in Fietas, Johannesburg, South Africa, and how these networks function as socio-spatial practices through which informal recyclers assert their Right to the City. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted across multiple Johannesburg suburbs, the study indicates that informal recycling provides livelihoods for marginalised populations and enables informal recyclers to negotiate access…

This study examines the dynamics of networks among informal recyclers in Fietas, Johannesburg, South Africa, focussing on how these networks embody their struggle for the "Right to the City." By observing informal recycling activities across various Johannesburg suburbs, the study highlights how recycling not only provides livelihoods for the unemployed but also allows marginalised groups to assert their presence and rights within the cityscape. …
A critical review of the impact of South Africa’s mine closure policy and the winding-up process of mining companies
Background: Most mining operations are viable for a period of 30 years, depending on the mineral extracted and the available reserves. Whilst the expectation is that mines will continue uninterrupted until the planned period is complete, unscheduled closure can occur. Sudden and unplanned mine closure can result in immediate environmental and social impacts. In South Africa, the challenges of mine closure are exacerbated by unexpected sudden clos…
Dust Deposition Impacts at a Liquidated Gold Mine Village
The windy season brings numerous community complaints for gold mining companies situated in the Witwatersrand due to windblown dust from partially rehabilitated tailings storage facilities (TSFs). For communities encroaching onto TSFs, windblown dust is perceived as a health hazard and an environmental challenge. In a study conducted in 2017 by the Lawyers for Human Rights, the community of a gold mine village perceived tailings storage facility …
Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report
This study quantifies the present-day global and regional distributions (2010–2014) and trends (2000–2014) for five ozone metrics relevant for short-term and long-term human exposure. These metrics, calculated by the Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report, are: 4th highest daily maximum 8-hour ozone (4MDA8); number of days with MDA8 > 70 ppb (NDGT70), SOMO35 (annual Sum of Ozone Means Over 35 ppb) and two seasonally averaged metrics (3MMDA1; AVGMDA…
Risk Assessment of Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene, and Xylene Concentrations from the Combustion of Coal in a Controlled Laboratory Environment
A D-grade type coal was burned under simulated domestic practices in a controlled laboratory set-up, in order to characterize the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); namely, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). Near-field concentrations were collected in a shack-like structure constructed using corrugated iron, simulating a traditional house found in informal settlements in South Africa (SA). Measurements were carried o…
Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report
In support of the first Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR) a relational database of global surface ozone observations has been developed and populated with hourly measurement data and enhanced metadata. A comprehensive suite of ozone data products including standard statistics, health and vegetation impact metrics, and trend information, are made available through a common data portal and a web interface. These data form the basis of the…
Occupational Exposure of Diesel Station Workers to BTEX Compounds at a Bus Depot
Diesel fuel is known to emit pollutants that have a negative impact on environmental and human health. In developing countries like South Africa, attendants are employed to pump fuel for customers at service stations. Attendants refuel vehicles with various octane unleaded fuel, lead-replacement petrol and diesel fuel, on a daily basis. Attendants are at risk to adverse health effects associated with the inhalation of volatile organic compounds r…
Housing satisfaction and quality of life in RDP houses in Braamfischerville, Soweto
The African National Congress (ANC) government initiated the building of Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) housing units in order to provide housing to the previously disadvantaged and to address the severe
Zadovoljstvo s stanovanji v naselju Braamfischerville v Sowetu in kakovost življenja v njih
Vlada afriškega nacionalnega kongresa (ang. African National Congress ali ANC) se je v okviru programa rekonstrukcije in razvoja odločila za gradnjo, da bi zagotovila stanovanja nekdanjim socialno šibkejšim skupinam in rešila vprašanje velikih zaostankov v stanovanjski gradnji, ki so zadnja leta značilni za Južnoafriško republiko. Kljub dobrim namenom pa so ta stanovanja tarče ostrih kritik zaradi nizkih gradbenih standardov in slabe kakovosti te…
