Project Abstract

Air pollution monitoring data collated from state and territory agencies.

Note (23/9/2019): Apparently John Kirkwood of NSW OEH has convened a technical committee for air pollution monitoring, involving all states and territories. Standardisation of air pollution monitoring methods and records has been raised, although it seems nothing concrete is in place.

Abstract A comprehensive compilation of air pollution monitoring sites, complemented by the integration of elevation data from the SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) digital elevation model. By combining precise altitude information from SRTM with air pollution monitoring sites, this dataset enables in-depth spatial analysis and identification of potential elevation-driven patterns in air pollution distribution.

Abstract

This was provided to Ivan to support the APMMA project ozone modelling because when we got going the Nat AP Monitor DB did not have complete historical data.

In future this dataset should become deprecated once the Nat AP Monitor DB is up and running with more historical data.

Abstract The Australian National Air Pollution Monitor Database (NAPMD) was consolidated by the NHMRC Centre for Air pollution, energy and health Research (CAR) and is maintained by the Centre for Safe Air (CSA). It aims to standardise the national collection of data from all government air pollution monitors in Australia. All states/territories and all pollutants for government regulatory monitoring data were collected from the 1990s onwards. For more information see https://osf.io/jxd98/wiki/Metadata/
Study Extent Hourly data, monitor locations in Australia
