This paper presents a summary of the key findings of the special issue of Atmosphere on Air
Quality in New South Wales and discusses the implications of the work for policy makers …

Australia has relatively diverse sources and low concentrations of ambient fine particulate
matter (< 2.5 μm, PM2. 5). Few comparable regions are available to evaluate the utility of …

Low-cost optical sensors are used in many countries to monitor fine particulate (PM2. 5) air
pollution, especially in cities and towns with large spatial and temporal variation due to …

Bushfires, prescribed burns, and residential wood burning are significant sources of fine
particles (aerodynamic diameter< 2.5 μm; PM2. 5) affecting the health and well-being of …

The accuracy and utility of low-cost PM2. 5 sensors was evaluated for measuring spatial
variation and modeling population exposure to PM2. 5 pollution from domestic wood …

Ozone and particle pollution are of concern for the Sydney basin, in particular during warm
months (November to March) when pollution levels can exceed national standards. Previous …

The coupled Conformal Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) and Chemical Transport Model
(CTM)(CCAM-CTM) was undertaken with eleven emission scenarios segregated from the …

There is a certain complacency about air pollution in rural towns in Australia. An image of
crystal clear skies seems to dominate general perceptions, and few locations actually …

Marine nitrogen fixation is co-limited by the supply of iron (Fe) and phosphorus in large
regions of the global ocean. The deposition of soluble aerosol Fe can initiate nitrogen …

Health implications of air pollution vary dependent upon pollutant sources. This work
determines the value, in terms of reduced mortality, of reducing ambient particulate matter …
