Description

Air pollution is harming our health and that of our children and parents. Air pollution causes many harmful effects, ranging from premature death, to headaches, coughing and asthma attacks. Previous studies (2008-2009) of particulate matter at Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt showed that biomass burning was primarily responsible for peak PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀ concentrations and exceedances of the National Environmental Standard (NES) and the New Zealand Ambient Air Quality Guidelines (NZAAQG). Arsenic was al...
