SoE2020: Particulate concentrations

Created 11/11/2025

Updated 11/11/2025

Particle concentrations have exceeded National Environment Protection (Ambient Air Quality) Measure 24-hour average PM10 and PM2.5 standards of 50µg/m3 and 25µg/m3 respectively since monitoring began in 1986. PM10 and PM2.5 levels in all regions increased in 2018 and 2019 due to a higher incidence of dust storms and bushfires triggered by extremely dry conditions.
