Air quality risks pertaining to tailings storage facilities within the Witwatersrand goldfields
Pollution related to Witwatersrand TSFs poses a number of hazards to surrounding communities. The major primary pathways by which contamination can enter the environment from TSFs are: • the airborne pathway, where radon gas and windblown dust disperse outwards from mine sites, • the waterborne pathway, either via ground or surface water or due to direct access, where people are contaminated, • or externally irradiated after unauthorized entry to a mine site, • by living in settlements directly adjacent to TSFs or in some cases, living in settlements on the contaminated footprints of abandoned mines (Sutton, 2007).

期刊介绍:
Clean Air Journal is the official publication of the National Association for Clean Air, a not-for-profit organisation. Clean Air Journal is a peer-reviewed journal for those interested in air quality, air quality management, and the impacts of air pollution relevant to Africa. The focus of the journal includes, but is not limited to: Impacts of human activities and natural processes on ambient air quality Air quality and climate change linkages Air pollution mitigation technologies and applications Matters of public policy regarding air quality management Measurement and analysis of ambient and indoor air pollution Atmospheric modelling application and development Atmospheric emissions Other topics on atmospheric physics or chemistry with particular relevance to Africa The scope of the journal is broad, but the core theme of the journal is air quality in Africa.
