Queensland Statewide Air Quality Monitoring Program
The statewide ambient air monitoring program provides baseline data to:
- assess Queensland’s air quality against relevant air quality standards or objectives
- meet state and Commonwealth legislative reporting obligations
- evaluate the effectiveness of management strategies to improve air quality
- inform the public of the state of Queensland’s air environment.
Since the severe 2019-2020 summer bushfires, the statewide ambient air monitoring network has expanded from 30 to 99 locations, providing communities with more locally relevant information to make informed decisions that protect their health during poor air quality episodes.
