Applications close 8 April.

[Mine Dust And Health Network MTM @MineDustNetwork]

Are our communities in priority areas and/or townships more at risk due to the air quality? Also going into winter where pollution on Highveld is likely to be worse. Add TB. Must do more to ensure clean ambient and indoor air.
