The National Air Pollution Monitoring Database (NAPMD) (Last edited on 2024-11-19)

1 Welcome

Welcome to the Australian National Air Pollution Monitor Database (NAPMD).

This database was consolidated by the Clean Air and health Research Data and Analysis Technology (CARDAT) platform, overseen by the Centre for Safe Air (CSA) (formerly the Centre for Air pollution, energy and health Research (CAR)) and the WHO Collaborating Centre for Climate Change and Health Impact Assessment. It aims to standardise the national collection of data from all government air pollution monitors in Australia.

The data are available in a larger repository of geospatial data for modelling air pollution exposure, health burden and impact. For more information see the CARDAT homepage.

The database is available for research purposes. Please see section 6 and inquire by email to CARDAT.
