Overview SA Activity 1.2
Status quo on air pollution:
• Environmental quality is not a high priority in South Africa
• South Africa is one of a few countries that does not regulate motor vehicle emissions
• Ad hoc studies are carried out (such as the Brown Haze study in Cape Town), however, the contribution from transport is unclear
