SoE2020: Major air pollutants from industry
National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) results show an increase in several air pollutant emissions from industry in recent years, reflecting increased demand in commodities. -
SoE2020: Number of registered vehicles
The total number of registered motor vehicles shows continued and sustained growth over time. While the number of electric and hybrid vehicles registered in Queensland has risen... -
SoE2020: Visibility-reducing particles
While the past 2 decades have seen a downward trend in the number of days with reduced visibility (defined as a visual distance less than 20km) throughout Queensland, there were... -
SoE2020: Sulphur dioxide concentrations
Sulphur dioxide levels in all regions, except for Mount Isa, have met the National Environmental Protection (Ambient Air Quality) Measure (NEPM) annual, 24-hour and 1-hour... -
SoE2020: Nitrogen dioxide concentrations
Levels of nitrogen dioxide across Queensland are consistently well below the National Environment Protection (Ambient Air Quality) Measure annual and 1-hour average standards of... -
SoE2020: Carbon monoxide concentrations
Carbon monoxide levels have continued to decline over the past decade, with levels in the last 6 years less than 20% of the National Environmental Protection (Ambient Air... -
SoE2020: Vehicle kilometres travelled
Total motor vehicle travel (cars, trucks, buses), expressed as total vehicle kilometres travelled, shows continued and sustained growth over time. -
SoE2020: Particulate concentrations
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... -
SoE2020: Ozone concentrations
While hourly ozone levels in Townsville, Gladstone and South West Queensland have never exceeded the National Environment Protection (Ambient Air Quality) Measure 1-hour average... -
SoE2020: Lead concentrations
Routine monitoring of lead in air is no longer undertaken in South East Queensland due to the low ambient concentrations following removal of lead in petrol. Lead monitoring... -
SoE2020: Vehicle emissions
Emissions from motor vehicles are a function of many factors, but most importantly total travel, fleet mix and emission control technology and driving behaviour. -
SoE2015: Lead concentrations
Routine monitoring of lead in air is no longer undertaken in South East Queensland due to the removal of lead in petrol. -
SoE2015: Sulphur dioxide concentrations
Sulphur dioxide levels in all regions do not exceed the National Environmental Protection Measures (NEPM) Air Quality Standards except for Mount Isa where the 1-hour and 24-hour... -
SoE2015: Visibility-reducing particles
Overall there has been a downward trend in the number of days with reduced visibility throughout Queensland over the past decade although significantly more days were affected... -
SoE2017: Visibility-reducing particles
While the past decade has seen a downward trend in the number of days with reduced visibility throughout Queensland, significantly more days were affected in 2009 and 2011, and... -
SoE2017: Vehicle kilometres travelled
Total motor vehicle travel (cars, trucks, buses), expressed as total vehicle kilometres travelled, shows continued and sustained growth over time. -
SoE2017: Vehicle emissions
