Good air quality is essential to our health and well-being.
Poor air can have adverse effects on our quality of life and can damage the fabric of buildings and sensitive flora and fauna.
Air monitoring provides raw measurements of air pollutant concentrations and with appropriate analysis and interpretation, these measurements can be transformed into useful information about air quality.
You can view the current levels of pollutants in the city.
