This technical report is a feasibility study of monitoring black carbon in Aotearoa New Zealand. It outlines the benefits of monitoring black carbon, international and local research and technical guidance on equipment.
The Ministry for the Environment commissioned Mote Ltd to undertake this review and provide recommendations for monitoring black carbon in Aotearoa as there is no current standardised guidance or monitoring requirement. Stats NZ does provide some reporting on black carbon, but monitoring sites are limited.
If future air quality monitoring in Aotearoa includes black carbon, this report could provide a New Zealand-specific basis on which to develop detailed guidance and data standards.
