This Notice of the Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs and made under section 53(f) of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act, 2004, regulates air dispersion modelling, i.e. a series of mathematical simulations of how air pollutants disperse in the ambient atmosphere and is performed with computer programs that solve the mathematical equations and algorithms which simulate the dispersion of pollutants. The Code of Practice, contained in Appendix A of the Regulations, is prescribed as the technical Code of Practice for air dispersion modelling. A relevant authority must refuse to accept air dispersion modelling results, if any person or organ of state fails to comply with the prescibed Code of Practice.
