Air quality in the Newcastle region was generally good during summer 2021–22. Daily particle levels were within national benchmarks from 69% of the time at Stockton, 99% of the time at Mayfield and 100% of the time at all other sites. Stockton particle levels are affected by sea salt due to its proximity to the coast. Hourly particle levels were in the good to fair air quality categories from 97.2% to 100% of the time throughout the region.
