Groundwork's presentation focused on two reports: Health Impact of Coal and Slow Poison: Air pollution, public health and failing governance. The presentation on the Health Impact of Coal featured the health burden of coal-related emissions; health impacts due to poor ambient air quality on the Mpumalanga Highveld; cardiovascular impacts; life expectancy; health and wellbeing; mercury; and water impacts. Groundwork also offered solutions to reducing the health burden and associated socio-economic impacts. On Slow Poison: Air pollution, public health and failing governance, Groundwork presented a sad story of air pollution and political failure to implement the Air Quality Act to protect South Africans from the incidents of air pollution in hotspot areas. As a result, Groundwork suggested the need for a comprehensive study to fully assess the impact of Eskom on air pollution.
