National Air Pollution Monitoring Database

Brief description

The Australian National Air Pollution Monitoring Database (NAPMD) was consolidated by the NHMRC Centre for Air pollution, energy and health Research (CAR) and is maintained by the Centre for Safe Air (CSA) via the CARDAT platform. It aims to standardise the national collection of data from all government air pollution monitors in Australia. All states/territories and all pollutants for government regulatory monitoring data were initially collected to cover the 1990s to 2020. Newer data continues to be collected and added to the database. Available years vary by state. For more information see https://cardat.github.io/napmdtools/.
