What's in Ōamaru’s Air?

Join the Air Quality Collective and Otago Regional Council for a free community talk exploring the results of a recent Ōamaru air quality project. Local students and volunteers have helped gather information about the air across town, and this session will share what was found, what it means, and why community involvement matters.

Air quality scientist Ian Longley will discuss the monitoring results, whether Ōamaru has an air quality problem, how air pollution can affect health, and practical steps households and communities can take to help improve local air. This is a useful evening for anyone interested in winter smoke, environmental science, community wellbeing, or the air their whānau breathe.
