A combination of weather events and emissions from industry were probably responsible for the sulphurous smell

A task team investigating complaints about the sulphurous smell over parts of Gauteng and the North West in June has determined that a combination of weather events and emissions from industry were probably responsible.

The interim investigations show that a low-pressure system in the north of the Mozambique channel caused a relatively unusual circulation pattern over the region during the days on which the public raised complaints about the stench. But no emergency incident were reported by any facilities in Mpumalanga, the North West, Gauteng and the Free State with the potential to release large quantities of sulphur dioxide and/or hydrogen sulphide in the week, the department said.

“The investigation will include engaging with industries from identified areas where hydrogen sulphide is of concern, to discuss short-term and long-term management of sulphurous odorants.”
