Notes:
(1) From 2008, results reflect consolidation of Mosgiel and Milton. Prior to 2008 the results were for Mosgiel only.
(2) The 2008 annual average is for Mosgiel only because Milton did not have the required 75% data capture.
(3) Monitoring ceased for this airshed for the summer seasons in October 2010/11.
