  3. Air

    Clean air is vital for supporting a healthy population and environment. The Canterbury/Waitaha region enjoys good air quality in most places at most times of the year.

    Clean air and low levels of air pollution are vital to the health of people, our communities, and natural ecosystems, as well as contributing to visual and aesthetic values. For example, the clean air in the Mackenzie Basin provides excellent visibility of the night sky, which has received international recognition. Our rural are…

  5. The science behind our air quality

    Our technical staff analyse air quality data to identify sources of air pollution and the relative significance of various contaminants.

    We research what has worked in the past and use different modelling methods to:

    predict concentrations in unmonitored areas
    identify likely areas of high concentration
    estimate population exposure to contaminants
    assess the likelihood of meeting targets
    predict the likely effect of various airshed management options.
    We often partner with other research organ…

  6. Home heating guidelines for your Clean Air Zone

    Home heating can include the burning of solid fuel, such as wood or pellets. There are rules in the Canterbury Air Regional Plan guiding the installation of solid fuel burners.

    Clean Air Zones relate to those areas in Canterbury where air pollution is often high. There are different home heating rules and different types of burners allowed for different Clean Air Zones.

    If you have an existing burner you can find the age of the burner and when it needs replacing at the Solid Fuel Burner Databa…

  7. Air quality data

    One of the main air pollutants in Canterbury is airborne particles or particulate matter (PM). These particles are defined by their size, with particles smaller than 10 micrometres referred to as PM10 and those smaller than 2.5 micrometres as PM2.5. It is important to know that PM10 includes all the PM2.5 particles and larger particles up to 10 micrometres in size.

    We monitor PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in our region's eight airsheds. This allows us to compare concentrations with nationa…
