This call for papers sought to consolidate the most recent air quality research undertaken in the Highveld to build on the foundation established by Tyson, Kruger and Louw (1987). Our hope is that through consolidating the investigations, assessments, and ambient air quality monitoring, that management interventions can be refined, improved, and more effectively implemented. Such interventions having the effect of materially reducing the prevailing disease burden and ultimately giving effect to the constitutional right of people living on the Highveld, to an environment that is not harmful to their health or welfare.
