ACT Air Quality PM10 and PM2.5 Hourly and Daily Averages

2026 data from the ACT Government's Health Protection Service provides particulate matter measurements. It includes PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations as 1-hour and 24-hour rolling averages from air monitoring stations. The dataset is available in multiple formats including CSV, JSON, RDF, and XML.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in PM2.5 24-hour rolling averages to assess long-term air quality changes in the ACT.
• Correlate PM10 1-hour averages with external events tagged as 'Smoke' to study pollution source impacts.
• Model short-term exposure risks by comparing PM2.5 and PM10 1-hour average readings across monitoring stations.

Strengths

• Data is updated to March 2026, providing recent measurements.
• Includes two key pollutant metrics (PM10 and PM2.5) with both short-term and daily average views.
• Published by the authoritative ACT Government Health Protection Service.

Limitations

• The specific number of monitoring stations, rows of data, and temporal coverage range are unknown.
• Data format includes RDF and XML, which may require specialized tools for parsing compared to CSV or JSON.
