Live air data
The Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES) in collaboration with industry partners operates an air quality monitoring network across the state.
Data from the monitoring network is presented online as ambient concentration, air quality categories and smoke and dust health action levels which are updated hourly.
Smoke and dust health action levels
There are currently no elevated health action levels.
Based on PM2.5 readings at air monitoring stations and smoke sensors at Thursday 18 April 2024 7pm.
For current bushfire and smoke warnings, visit the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services website.

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.
About these Hydrogen sulfide parameters
- Hydrogen sulfide (30min)
Hydrogen sulfide is a flammable, colorless gas that smells like rotten eggs. People usually can smell hydrogen sulfide at low concentrations in air ranging from 0.5 to 300 parts per billion (ppb). Hydrogen sulfide occurs naturally in crude petroleum, natural gas, volcanic gases, and hot springs. It can also result from bacterial breakdown of organic matter. Industrial sources of hydrogen sulfide include petroleum refineries, natural gas plants, petrochemical plants, coke oven plants, food processing plants, and tanneries.
The guideline for Hydrogen sulfide (30min) is 5ppb (1hr avg) and 108ppb (30min avg).
Hydrogen sulfide (30min) is measured in parts per billion.
