Hourly PM10 data
datastore ActivePeriod of reporting: 1 January to December 2016
Monitoring sites: Brisbane CBD, Cannon Hill, Flinders View, Luscombe, Lytton, Mountain Creek, Ormeau, Rocklea, South Brisbane, Springwood, Wynnum North, Wynnum West (South East Queensland); Jondaryan (Jondaryan); Auckland Point, Boat Creek, Boyne Island, Clinton, Fisherman's Landing, South Gladstone, Targinie (Gladstone region); West Mackay (Mackay); Moranbah (Moranbah); Ayr (Ayr); Pimlico, Townsville Coast Guard (Townsville); The Gap (Mount Isa)
Measurement units: micrograms per cubic metre (ug/m^3)
Measurement technique (Brisbane CBD - until 25 August, Flinders View, Mountain Creek, Springwood - until 15 February, Auckland Point, The Gap): Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) Model 1400AB operated in accordance with AS 3580.9.8
- Measurement values do not compensate for loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter.
- Instrument output values are adjusted in accordance with US EPA equivalence designation method EQPM-1090-079 requirements (scaled by 1.03, offset by +3.0).
- After adjustment, negative hourly PM10 concentrations less than -0.5 µg/m^3 are removed and concentrations between -0.5 µg/m^3 and 0.0 µg/m^3 are set to 0.0 µg/m^3.
Measurement technique (West Mackay, Moranbah, Ayr, Pimlico, Townsville Coast Guard): Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) Model 1405 operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.9.16 (excluding FDMS requirements)
- Measurement values do not compensate for loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter.
- Reported concentrations are uncorrected instrument output values.
- Negative hourly PM10 concentrations less than -0.5 µg/m^3 are removed and concentrations between -0.5 µg/m^3 and 0.0 µg/m^3 are set to 0.0 µg/m^3.
Measurement technique (Brisbane CBD - from 1 September): Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) Model 1405-F fitted with Filter Dynamics Measurement System (FDMS) operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.9.16
- The FDMS system compensates for the loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter.
- Reported concentrations are uncorrected instrument output values.
- The reported PM10 concentrations are calculated from running 1-hour average concentrations updated at six minute intervals.
- Negative hourly PM10 concentrations down to -5 µg/m^3 resulting from instrument noise at low particle concentrations are reported.
Measurement technique (Lytton, Wynnum North, Wynnum West): Dichotomous Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) Model 1405-D operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.9.13 (excluding FDMS requirements)
- Measurement values do not compensate for loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter.
- Reported concentrations are uncorrected instrument output values.
- Negative hourly PM10 concentrations down to -5 µg/m^3 resulting from instrument noise at low particle concentrations are reported.
Measurement technique (Cannon Hill, Luscombe - until 6 May, Rocklea, South Brisbane, Springwood - from 25 February, Jondaryan, Boat Creek, Boyne Island, Clinton, Fisherman's Landing, South Gladstone, Targinie): Dichotomous Tapered Element Oscillating Balance (TEOM) Model 1405-DF fitted with Filter Dynamics Measurement System (FDMS) operated in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.9.16
- The FDMS system compensates for the loss of semi-volatile components from the collected particulate matter.
- Reported concentrations are uncorrected instrument output values.
- The reported PM10 concentrations are calculated from running 1-hour average concentrations updated at six minute intervals.
- Negative hourly PM10 concentrations down to -5 µg/m^3 resulting from instrument noise at low particle concentrations are reported.
Measurement technique (Luscombe - from 6 May, Ormeau): DustMaster Pro 6000 photometer operated in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
- instrument output corrected by factor determined by comparison with the 1405-DF TEOM output between 7 April and 4 May 2016 at Luscombe.
