The campaign was undertaken in response to concerns expressed by community members regarding potential dust emissions from the nearby Alcoa Pinjarra Refinery operations.
An air quality monitoring station was operated at a community receptor location, chosen for its relevance, on the northeastern outskirts of the Pinjarra township, over three periods in 2023 and 2024 for about five months in total. The objective of the monitoring campaign was to assess ambient dust levels at the location for different times of the year, to help provide a more representative view.
