| Description | Pollution is a complex and wide subject. It is endeavoured to categorize it in manageable subdivisions. Since very little information is available on the expenditure on research by the industry, the paper concentrates on the expenditure by the public sector. Research on water pollution is funded by the WRC, the CSIR and the Departments of Water Affairs and Health. The latter is the main source of funds for air-pollution research. The Department of the Environment funds several projects on the abatement of pollution, especially by solid wastes. Some universities conduct research on pollution abatement. With reference to some projections of future developments, the conclusion is reached that much more funds are needed to combat pollution. Besoedeling is ’n komplekse en uitgebreide onderwerp. Daar word probeer om dit te kategoriseer in hanteerbare onderafdelings. Aangesien daar min inligting beskikbaar is oor die besteding van fondse aan navorsing deur die industrie, word daar gekonsentreer op die besteding van fondse deur die staatsektor. Navorsing oor waterbesoedeling word befonds deur die WNK, die WNNR en die Departemente van Waterwese en Gesondheid, terwyl die laasgenoemde ook die vernaamste bron van fondse vir lugbesoedelingnavorsing is. Die Departement van Omgewingsake befonds verskeie projekte in die bekamping van besoedeling, verai deur vaste afval. Daar is wel enkele universiteite wat navorsing oor die bekamping van besoedeling doen. Na aanleiding van toekomsprojeksies word daar tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat veel meer fondse nodig is om die toenemende besoedeling te bekamp. | |
