What the results tell us for Upper Lachlan
Other than localized smoke from domestic wood fires and occasional dust storms associated with the dry conditions, air quality in theUpper Lachlan Shire was generally considered to be acceptable during the current reporting period. Since there is no routine air quality monitoring in the area there is no way to assess whether there has been any change in air quality over time.
Emissions from motor vehicles continue to have an impact on outdoor air quality across Australia, although this is most apparent in the larger population centres. Upper Lachlan Shire is unlikely to be exposed to noticeable reductions in air quality due to vehicle emissions, although large numbers of seasonal visitors or an increase in traffic through flow, may cause some reduction in outdoor air quality.
