Air quality in the Newcastle region was predominantly good during winter 2021. Daily particle levels were within national benchmarks for 98% of the time at Stockton and 100% of the time at all other stations. Stockton particle levels typically are affected by sea salt due to the station’s proximity to the coast . Hourly particle levels were in the good to fair air quality categories for 99.2% to 100% of the time throughout the region.
