The document provides a technical comparison of air pollutant concentrations (SO2, NO2, and PM10) under two scenarios: actual emissions (Scenario 1) and requested limits (Scenario 2/2a). It highlights significant increases in predicted concentrations and exceedances of South African standards under the requested limits scenario, particularly for SO2.

• Under Scenario 2/2a (Requested emissions/limits), predicted concentrations for SO2, NO2, and PM10 are significantly higher than under Scenario 1 (Actual Emissions). For SO2, the 1-hour concentration is predicted to rise from 224 µg/m3 to 589 µg/m3, and the 24-hour concentration from 108 µg/m3 to 284 µg/m3. For NO2, the 1-hour concentration increases from 119 µg/m3 to 201 µg/m3. For PM10, the 24-hour concentration increases from 9 µg/m3 to 23 µg/m3.
• The requested emissions scenario (Scenario 2) results in a high number of exceedances of South African standards for SO2. Specifically, there are 596 exceedances for the 1-hour concentration and 95 exceedances for the 24-hour concentration.
• NO2 concentrations under Scenario 2 are considered compliant, with the 1-hour concentration resulting in only 1-3 exceedances.
