摘要

背景2022年3月18日，比勒陀利亚高等法院裁定，长期空气污染违反了《南非宪法》第24条，南非人有权享有不损害其健康和福祉的环境（CER，2022）。这“对被迫忍受空气污染对普马兰加高地的破坏性影响的社区，以及更广泛的宪法判例和政府问责制，都有重要影响”（CER，2022）。

Ambient air pollution on the Highveld: An airshed at a watershed moment?

Background On 18 March 2022, the Pretoria High Court found that chronic air pollution is a violation of Section 24 of the South African Constitution, and that South Africans have a right to an environment that is not harmful to their health and well-being (CER, 2022). This “has important implications for communities forced to live with the debilitating effects of air pollution on the Mpumalanga Highveld, and more broadly for constitutional jurisprudence and government accountability” (CER, 2022).
