National Air Quality Threshold Exceeded

Marlborough District Council monitors PM10 concentrations, relative to the National Environmental Standard (NES), at air monitoring sites in Springlands and Redwoodtown in Blenheim.

The NES for PM10 allows the threshold of 50 µg m3 to be exceeded on no more than one day per year.

This threshold was exceeded for the first time this winter on the 15 June at the monitoring site in Redwoodtown where a daily average concentration of 64µg m3 was recorded.
Graphs of the Air Quality for Redwoodtown and Springlands can be viewed on the Monitoring page. Redwood town is updated hourly to show today's PM10 readings.
