Government and regulators

Councils, state agencies and environment authorities carry the public record of air quality in their region. That record has to stand up to scrutiny: traceable instruments, documented calibration, and data that is validated before anyone sees it. Benchmark Monitoring supplies and supports the networks that do this work.

What we provide:

• Reference-grade and equivalent instruments for criteria gases and particulates.
• Single stations through to complete air quality monitoring networks (AQMN), including siting and design.
• Data acquisition and telemetry across monitoring sites, feeding a secure portal for real-time access.
• Quality assurance, calibration and asset management, with reporting in the format your agency publishes.
• Technical training for staff on instrument operation and on the standards the data is reported against.

Evidence for planning and policy

Baseline monitoring establishes existing air quality before a development is assessed. Ongoing networks track whether air quality is holding, and source apportionment identifies what is contributing when it is not.

Experience your agency can lean on

We have supplied air quality instrumentation to Australian government monitoring programs for more than 25 years, with data acquisition deployed across more than 40 government sites. Our team briefs councils, agencies and community groups on air quality matters in technical terms a non-specialist audience can use.
