Air reports and plans

We produce a range of reports and publications with the data collected at our air monitoring stations. These publications are available from our online library catalogue.

Reports

The National Environment Protection Measure for Ambient Air Quality (Air NEPM) requires annual reporting of Queensland’s air quality against the standards.

The requirement applies to 16 stations across the state and focuses on normal population exposure (e.g. stations that are not close to industrial areas or major roads).

Until 2005, we also produced annual reports for all Queensland monitoring stations—not just those required by the Air NEPM. To access these reports, go to our library catalogue and search for:

  • 2005 annual summary and trend report

Ambient air quality monitoring plan for Queensland

The ambient air quality monitoring plan was prepared in 2001 to outline how Queensland air quality would meet the National Environment Protection Measure for Ambient Air Quality (Air NEPM).

Air quality sampling manual

The air quality sampling manual provides guidance on measuring ambient air quality and emissions to the atmosphere.
