A preliminary probe established that the foul smell blowing across parts of Gauteng this week was not of a localised source
The Gauteng air quality does not seem to be impacted by the sulphuric acid stink hanging in the air.
“The current weather system is conducive to the transportation of pollution from the Highveld Priority Area and the industrial complex of Mpumalanga, which run power generations and petrochemical industrial operations.” Speaking to City Press, climate and energy campaigner Nhlanhla Sibisi said the smell had descended on Tshwane and Johannesburg.
The department of environment, forestry and fisheries is investigating the most recent foul stench blowing across parts of Gauteng.
