Joint Queensland Government / industry-operated monitoring site: Data validation conducted by the Queensland Government.
Period of operation: 1 January to 31 December 2016
Site location Latitude: -19.2542; Longitude: 146.8257
AS/NZS 3580.1.1 site classification: Peak (port operations)
AS/NZS 3580.1.1 compliance (pollutants): Complies fully
AS/NZS 3580.14 compliance (meteorology): Complies, except for:

  • Trees within 5 metres to the west of the industry/joint monitoring station (no obstructions in direction of port operations).
  • Monitoring stations located on asphalt surface.

Wind sensor: Ultrasonic sensor

  • Height above ground level: 10 metres.

Temperature: Capacitive ceramic sensor
PM10: 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.

TSP: Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) Model 1405 fitted with TSP inlet and 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 TSP 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.
