datastore ActiveJoint Queensland Government / industry-operated monitoring site: Data validation conducted by the Queensland Government.
Period of operation: 1 January to 31 December 2017
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.
- Temperature (from 7 November) and relative humidity sensors located 10 metres above ground level.
- Rainfall measured by acoustic sensor.
Wind sensor: Ultrasonic sensor
- Height above ground level: 10 metres.
Temperature (to 6 November): Capacitive ceramic sensor
Temperature (from 7 November): Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor
- Height above ground level: 10 metres.
Relative humidity (from 7 November): Capacitive thin film polymer sensor
- Height above ground level: 10 metres.
Rainfall (from 7 November): Doppler radar
- Height above ground level: 10 metres.
Barometric pressure (from 7 November): MEMS capacitive pressure sensor
- Height above ground level: 10 metres.
Solar radiation (from 7 November): Thermopile

PM10 (to 24 March): 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.
PM10 (from 7 November): Scattered light spectrometry (TAPI Model 640X) operated in accordance with USEPA equivalence method designation requirements
- Reported concentrations are uncorrected instrument output values.
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.
