Abstract

The main air contaminant of concern in the Waikato region is PM10 (particles in the air 10 microns in diameter or less).

Monitoring of PM10 was undertaken in the Hamilton, Tokoroa, Taupō, Te Kūiti, Putaruru, Turangi, Cambridge, Te Awamutu-Kihikihi, Morrinsville and Thames airsheds during 2016. This particulate monitoring was targeted mainly at identifying the impacts from domestic home heating sources.
