use of dirty fuels by low-income households on the South African Highveld

Abstract: Meaningful proportions of households on the South African Highveld regularly use energy carriers that result in the emission of significant quantities of particulate and gaseous pollutants. Dirty fuels are mostly used by lower-income households, with the exception of recreational wood use that is also prevalent in higher-income households. The dirty fuel use patterns and trends observed on the Highveld are the result of the unique combination of the utility, accessibility, affordability, availability, and desi… Show more

“…wood, coal, paraffin) to meet some of their energy needs, now become even more reliant on these. The use of these fuels greatly contributes to poor ambient and indoor air quality (e.g., Pauw et al, 2022;Walton et al, 2021;Wernecke et al, 2021;Wernecke et al, 2015, Hersey et al, 2015, Naidoo et al, 2014Moletsane et al, 2021). These generator and residential burning emissions are of course released in very close proximity to people, have a high inhalation intake fraction and represent an increased health risk to humans and the environment.…”
