Includes bibliographical references. In developing countries, energy poverty remains a challenge, impacting on the environment, health, security and well-being of an estimated 3 billion people. Fuel wood remains an important but environmentally problematic fuel in this context. The urban poor are known to make use not only of harvested but also of waste timber. Prior studies in Cape Town indicated substantial uses of fuel wood by informal communities for thermal requirements, such as cooking and heating by both households and informal and formal caterers.This dissertation therefore aims to determine whether, and how, informal urban caterers and their clients are exposed to toxicity risks arising from Chromium, Copper and Arsenic in their fuel-wood. 2015-01-11T13:30:12Z 2015-01-11T13:30:12Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12093 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
