Reducing fine particles in the atmosphere is our next major challenge
2016 Key Finding2016 Particulate matter has been identified as a significant hazard to human health. Levels of PM10 now rarely exceed the national standard. However, the standard for fine particles (PM2.5)—which, until 2016, was an advisory limit only—is frequently exceeded because of events such as...
State and trends of Australia’s air quality 2016
2016 , At a glanceAt a glance Since 1998, Australia has had national ambient air quality standards (National Environment Protection Measure for Ambient Air Quality—Air NEPM), which set guideline levels for 7 key air pollutants: carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter (less than 10 ...
Air quality in Australian cities is generally good
2016 Key Finding2016 Air quality in Australian urban centres is classified as either ‘good’ or ‘very good’. However, although levels of carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, coarse particulate matter (PM10) and sulfur dioxide have decreased in the past 10 years, ozone and fine particle (PM2.5) levels...
Pollution types
2016 , Report Content2016 Ambient air quality Pressures Pollutants occur as gases (e.g. carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, VOCs such as benzene and formaldehyde) and PM. In air pollution, PM refers to solid and...

Air pollution is a significant health hazard
2016 Key Finding2016 Urban air quality is a significant cause of death and illness. There is a statistically significant relationship between higher levels of fine particles and respiratory and cardiovascular disease, and increased mortality. In 2013, the International Agency for Research on Cancer...

Outlook for Australia's air quality
2016 , At a glanceAt a glanceThe outlook for Australia’s urban air quality is generally good. However, there is strong evidence that periods of poor urban air quality can have serious adverse long-term and short-term impacts on human health (particularly on the health of susceptible individuals). Although...
