A mobile air monitoring station was used to monitor air quality in Eltham from April 2005 to April 2006. Several common pollutants with known health impacts were monitored.Eltham’s air quality was generally similar to or better than other areas in Melbourne and Victoria (Geelong and Latrobe Valley).The results show that Eltham had generally good air quality but was impacted by contributions from domestic woodsmoke and motor vehicle emissions on cold evenings in winter.
