Air Pollution Control Regulations, 2008.

These Air Pollution Control Regulations set “air quality objectives” under Schedule 1. The Meteorological Service has obligations to monitor air quality, advise the Authority by notice in writing at the end of every month if any air quality objective is not met, and must submit to the Authority an annual report concerning air quality in Swaziland. The Authority must consider the reports and review the air quality objectives at least once in every five years. The Regulation 4 prohibits the emission of "dark smoke", with some exceptions (see Schedule 3), and offences are also disciplined. The emission into the atmosphere of any controlled air pollutants must be notified by the operator to the Authority indicating the process and the actual or estimated quantity of controlled air pollutants emitted per annum and during peak periods. Regulation 5 lays down the discipline of sampling, testing and monitoring. Air pollution accidents must be reported (by operator or by whom has caused the accident) within 12 hours and all reasonable measures to avoid and mitigate any damage which may be caused to the environment or to human or health as a result of the emission must be immediately taken by the operator.
