Lameroo air quality monitoring station

The Lameroo air quality monitoring station is located at the Bureau of Meteorology compound . This site is in the SA Murray Darling Basin Natural Resource Management (NRM) Region.

An estimated 968 people live within 25km of this monitoring site (2016 census).

Commissioned: 2012

Latitude:  35° 22' 40.08'' S

Longitude: 140° 32' 16.08'' E

Elevation: 112 metres

The following air pollutants are measured at this station:

  • Total Suspended Particles (TSP)

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

Continuous record – data from most rural sites is only collected in 15-minute intervals as the solar-powered instruments need to preserve energy.

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.
