The lack of information due to the lack of studies in the area is one area that needs improvement. As a start, plans have been made by the Pollution Control Unit of the Medical and Health Department for two Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations (AAQMS) to be installed, one in the capital and the other in Belait District. The equipment intended to be installed in the proposed stations are capable of monitoring the required parameters continuously (24 hours monitoring). The Meteorological Services, Department of Civil Aviation also plans to expand their air pollution monitoring capabilities. +

The main role of Air Pollution Information Network for Africa (APINA) is to form a strong link between the air pollution scientific community and policy makers at national and regional levels. Currently, Southern Africa (South Africa, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe)is APINA's main focus region but activities also to reach out across the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa. The country fact sheets of Southern Africa were used to estimate AQ monitoring activities in Southern Africa. +

The panel was asked to think about how such observing systems might be directed toward minimizing data gaps across spatial scales, thus helping EPA move toward a more comprehensive observing approach that would not only benefit GEOSS but also EPA’s unique domestic mission, including air quality modeling and forecasting. +

This guidance document is a reference for air quality policymakers and managers providing state-of-the-art, evidence-based information on key determinants of air quality management decisions. The document reflects the findings of five annual meetings of the NERAM (Network for Environmental Risk Assessment and Management) International Colloquium Series on Air Quality Management (2001–2006), as well as the results of supporting international research. The topics covered in the guidance document reflect critical science and policy aspects of air quality risk
management including i) health effects, ii) air quality emissions, measurement and modeling, iii) air quality management interventions, and iv) clean air policy challenges and opportunities. +

We have carried out measurement campaigns in every major city in Australia and in rural air sheds such as Victoria’s Latrobe Valley. Recent work in South-East Asia includes air quality studies in Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur.
This applied work is backed by a strategic research program that includes long-term aerosol measurements at the Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station in north-west Tasmania. The Cape Grim program, to monitor and study global atmospheric composition, is a joint responsibility of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO. +
