Investigate healthier air in the WA community and around the world and understand how reducing emissions can keep the air healthy.
These resources will guide students to investigate how harmful particles in air are measured in Perth and around the world and how a reduction in emissions can keep the air we breathe healthy.
NEW! Students can now investigate the air quality in their area
Launched in November 2022, RAC's Air Health Monitor is the biggest air sensor network in Australia. Powered by hundreds of sensors, the network shows hour-by-hour changes to the air quality across the Perth metropolitan area.
