✎ Updated 20 Aug 2026 Publication date recorded for 4 sources. What changed →
New South Wales has routinely monitored Sydney's air since 1951; today the state's Air Quality Monitoring Network runs accredited ground stations across the city, publishing hourly PM2.5, PM10 and gas readings to a public database. When air quality is rated ‘Poor’, the documented response is an alert and health advice for subscribers.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →Sources

Awaiting operator and domain-expert review; publication of this revision implies neither.

Known limits of this passport
- Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
- Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
- A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
- The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
