EMISSION PERMISSION

EMISSION PERMISSION: Eskom has been granted air-pollution exemptions for eight coal power stations, including Kendal pictured here, that would otherwise have been forced to shut on April 1. The decision was not unexpected considering the country’s tight supply/demand balance. But the move remains controversial because of the serious health impacts associated the high level of sulphur dioxide, particulate matter and nitrous oxide emissions from the plants.
