The last major air quality report published was the outcomes of the Metropolitan Air Quality Study in 1997. This current report summarises the knowledge gained since that publication regarding photochemical pollution, as measured by ozone concentration, up to 2004. It includes a description of ozone events in the Sydney, Illawarra, lower Hunter (Newcastle) and Bathurst regions and details air quality modelling investigating events which give rise to ozone exceedences, as well as an investigation of the impact of emissions projected to 2026.
