OBJECTIONS: ARCELORMITTAL SOUTH AFRICA APPLICATION FOR ALTERNATIVE SO2 MINIMUM EMISSION STANDARDS LIMIT AT DIRECT REDUCTION KILNS, ARCELORMITTAL VANDERBIJLPARK WORKS, GAUTENG PROVINCE
The Centre for Environmental Rights, acting for the Vaal Environmental Justice Alliance (VEJA), submitted formal objections to ArcelorMittal South Africa's (AMSA) application for an alternative SO2 emission limit at its Vanderbijlpark Works. The objections argue that granting a limit of 1,500 mg/Nm³—three times the legal standard of 500 mg/Nm³—would violate constitutional rights to a healthy environment, ignore the conversion of SO2 into dangerous particulate matter (PM), and prioritize corporate cost-savings over public health in a known pollution hotspot.
