Incident monitoring sites
EPA and VICSES can deploy equipment to monitor air quality near an incident like a fire. Incident sites give us immediate data about impacts to air quality and are used to make decisions about what EPA and other agencies do next.Air quality

Standard monitoring sites
EPA has monitoring sites in population centres around Victoria. The air quality where you are might be different to what you see on EPA AirWatch, even if there’s a monitoring site close to you. This is because there are many factors that can affect air quality. For example, wind direction and smoke from wood fires.Air quality

Sensor monitoring sites
Sensor sites allow us to get an indication of air quality but may not provide correct information when humidity is high (for example, during fog).
If sensors are not available or showing poor air quality, you can check the air quality near you with this self assessment guide. Find out how to protect your health from air pollution.
