Buronga air quality monitoring station

The Buronga air quality monitoring station is located at the OEH Research Centre. This site is in the Western Local Land Services Natural Resource Management (NRM) Region.

An estimated 54,903 people live within 25km of this monitoring site (2016 census).

Commissioned: 2003

Latitude: 34⁰ 10' 28.92''S

Longitude: 142⁰ 12' 2.88''E

Elevation: 50.7 metres

The following air pollutants are measured at this station:

Total Suspended Particles (TSP)
Fine particles as PM_2.5
Fine particles as PM₁₀

Data from the site is reported as hourly updated particle concentrations.

Instrument limitations – Most rural network stations use mid-cost indicative monitors which respond to all aerosols including dust, sea salt and smoke. Single-channel DustTraks (TSP only) will also respond to fog. Care must be taken in interpreting the data compared with Air NEPM standards without additional information.
