Air Quality Data

Air pollution has a significant impact on human health and the economy. Air quality in Sydney is usually very good by international standards.

For more information about air quality in Sydney, how our ventilation systems work to manage air quality within and outside the tunnels, and what has contributed to improve vehicle emissions visit the Air Quality Portal.

This dataset provides standardised measures of:
