None of the data is validated (0% validated, 0/116 records)
The data used to compile this air quality information comes directly from the department's air monitoring network and has only undergone a preliminary quality check. Data is retrieved from the stations every hour and after quality checks, is available approximately 1 hour later.
All data on this site is shown in Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).
- If there is no data measured for a parameter, or data could not be retrieved from the monitoring station at this hour, no data is shown in the cell.
- An offline message in a cell indicates that measurements are temporarily unavailable due to equipment servicing or failure. See network status.
About these Air quality parameters
- Particle PM10
Airborne particles less than 10 micrometres in diameter, referred to as PM10, can be hazardous to human health or cause a nuisance when present in the air at elevated levels. They are capable of penetrating the lower airways of humans and can cause possible negative health effects.
The guideline for Particle PM10 is 50µg/m³ (24hr avg).
Particle PM10 is measured in micrograms per cubic metre.
- Particle PM2.5
Airborne particles less than 2.5 micrometres in diameter, referred to as PM2.5, can be hazardous to human health or cause a nuisance when present in the air at elevated levels. They are capable of penetrating the lower airways of humans and can cause possible negative health effects.
The guideline for Particle PM2.5 is 25µg/m³ (24hr avg).
Particle PM2.5 is measured in micrograms per cubic metre.
- Visibility
Aerosols and fine particles can reduce visibility. Smoke from fires or haze are common causes of poor visibility.
The guideline for Visibility is 235Mm⁻¹ (1hr avg).
Visibility is measured in inverse megametres.
- Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas formed when substances containing carbon (such as petrol, gas, coal and wood) are burned with an insufficient supply of air. It has serious health impacts on humans and animals, especially those with cardiovascular disease.
The guideline for Carbon monoxide is 9ppm (8hr avg).
Carbon monoxide is measured in parts per million.
- Nitrogen dioxide
Nitrogen dioxide is an acidic and highly corrosive gas. Nitrogen oxides are critical components of photochemical smog. Long-term exposure to high levels of nitrogen dioxide can cause chronic lung disease and affect the senses.
The guideline for Nitrogen dioxide is 0.12ppm (1hr avg).
Nitrogen dioxide is measured in parts per million.
- Ozone
Ozone is a colourless, highly reactive gas with a distinctive odour. The upper atmosphere ozone layer (at altitudes of 15–35km) protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The ozone layer reduction represents a global atmosphere issue.
The guideline for Ozone is 0.1ppm (1hr avg).
Ozone is measured in parts per million.
- Sulfur dioxide
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a colourless gas with a sharp, irritating odour. It is produced by burning fossil fuels and by the smelting of mineral ores that contain sulfur.
The guideline for Sulfur dioxide is 0.2ppm (1hr avg).
Sulfur dioxide is measured in parts per million.
- Particles TSP
Airborne particles up to about 100 micrometres in diameter are referred to as TSP (total suspended particles). These particles are generated by combustion and non-combustion processes, including windblown dust, sea salt, earthworks, mining activities, industrial processes, motor vehicle engines and fires.
The guideline for Particles TSP is 80µg/m³ (24hr avg).
Particles TSP is measured in micrograms per cubic metre.
