Environmental Canterbury has permanent air pollution monitoring states in seven Canterbury towns:
- Kaiapoi
- Rangiora
- Christchurch (St Albans, Riccarton and Woolston)
- Ashburton
- Timaru (town and Washdyke)
- Waimate
- Geraldine
The Ministry for the Environment also operates a monitoring station in Christchurch (Burnside). In the past monitoring has shown that air pollution, mainly PM10, is a problem in these areas and the National Environmental Standards (NES) require us to monitor there.
