Greenpeace calls on Creecy to revise weakening minimum emission standards
Nongovernmental organisation Greenpeace Africa has called on Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Barbara Creecy to revise the weakening of the minimum emission standards (MES) to avoid further air pollution. The organisation has also requested the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF) to disclose the circumstances around the emission of high levels of sulphur dioxide (SO2) pollution, as was seen in Johannesburg and Pretoria this past week.
