Monitoring sites: Brisbane CBD, Cannon Hill, Coomera, Deagon, Deception Bay, Flinders View, Lytton, Mountain Creek, Mutdapilly, Nambour, North Maclean, Parkwood, Rocklea, South Brisbane, Southport, Springwood, Woolloongabba, Wynnum North, Wynnum West (South East Queensland); Charleville, Hopeland, Miles Airport, Rangeville, Roma, Toowoomba (South West Queensland); Maryborough, Bundaberg (Wide Bay-Burnett); Auckland Point, Blackwater, Bluff, Boat Creek, Boyne Island, Clinton, Emerald, Fisherman's Landing, Moranbah East, Moranbah West, Parkhurst, South Gladstone, Targinie, West Mackay (Central Queensland); Longreach (Central West Queensland); Ayr, North Ward, Townsville Coast Guard, Townsville Environment Park, Townsville Lennon Drive (North Queensland); Weipa, Woree (Far North Queensland); The Gap (North West Queensland)
Measurement units: micrograms per cubic metre (ug/m^3)
Measurement technique Auckland Point, Bluff: 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 (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 (Rocklea, Southport (until 11 July), Springwood (until 13 July), Fisherman's Landing): 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 (Charleville, Longreach, Rangeville, Roma, Bundaberg, Parkhurst, Weipa): Optical light scattering method using Dr. Fodisch FDS 17 monitor operated in accordance with manufacturer's instruction
- Reported concentrations are uncorrected instrument output values
- Minimum measurable concentration of 2 µg/m^3.
