The University of Johannesburg’s Process, Energy & Environment Technology Station, or UJ PEETS, is part of a new initiative to measure vehicle emissions in Johannesburg, where cars produce over 75 percent of nitrogen oxide pollution.
While this figure is known, the project uses remote sensing technology to collect real-time data on emissions from different vehicles on the roads.
This detailed information will support the City’s clean air zone plans to reduce pollution and protect public health.
As part of a global effort across 14 cities, the project aims to promote cleaner urban transport.
Data collection started in July and will continue until next year, with results expected to help improve air quality in the region.

A 55-year-old Fourways man is recovering well after life-saving surgery made possible by community support.
Craig Goodliffe was diagnosed earlier this year with a large tumour on his kidney and needed urgent surgery, but the costs were high.

Doctors confirmed the tumour was contained and his other organs were not affected.
Craig is now recovering well and will continue with regular check-ups.
His daughter says the family is deeply grateful for the support that gave Craig a chance to enjoy more time with his grandchildren.
