Realtime PurpleAir Sensor Air Quality - Beaumaris Tasmania


Beaumaris-weather.com hosts a PurpleAir PA-II-SD air quality sensor on the east (ocean) side of the house. The results are automatically sent to the purpleair.com website for aggregation and analysis. The readings below are from both sensors in the PA-II-SD sensor unit. We also store our Air Quality Data in onsite Databases, this data can be found by scrolling down this page.

  • Enjoy the outdoors.

PM2.5 (µg/m³) What the conditions are like What this means
0 - 12.5
Good 		Beautiful. In many parts of Tasmania background PM2.5 is less than 5 and hard to beat.
  • Enjoy the outdoors.
12.5 - 25
Fair 		Generally good, it might appear a little hazy.
  • This could indicate that air quality is beginning to get worse. Keep track of conditions.
  • People at higher risk from smoke should be prepared to take action if air quality gets worse.
  • If there has been smoke that was much worse and is now improving, this is a good time to open and air your home.
25 - 50
Poor 		The air is likely to be smoky. Generally, you are able to see or smell smoke in the air when PM2.5 is over 25.
  • The smoky air could worsen the health of people at higher risk from smoke. Keep track of conditions.
  • People at higher risk from smoke should consider steps to reduce their exposure.
  • Everyone should consider taking steps to reduce their exposure if poor conditions last longer than one day.
50 - 150
Very Poor 		Visibility will be poor, and conditions may be unpleasant. It will likely be very smoky if PM2.5 is over 100.
  • The smoky air is very likely to worsen the health of people at higher risk from smoke.
  • People at higher risk should take action to reduce their exposure to polluted air and seek healthcare if concerned about any symptoms.
  • People not in higher risk groups should consider taking steps to reduce their exposure to smoke and polluted air.
150+
Extremely Poor 		It will be very smoky and unpleasant for everyone.
  • This represents severe air pollution.
  • Everyone should take action to reduce their exposure to smoke and polluted air.
  • People at higher risk from smoke should actively monitor symptoms and seek healthcare if concerned.
  • People not in higher risk groups should seek healthcare if concerned about any symptoms.

In general, if PM2.5 levels are higher, at poor or very poor and have been for more than a day, it is important to take action. Poor air quality for several days has a greater health impact than a brief episode lasting a few hours. The higher the PM2.5 the more likely this is to happen.

PurpleAir PA-II, dual laser counters, A/B averaged. PM2.5 uses the ALT conversion (cf=3.4) computed from particle counts, matching the Tasmanian scale used on the PurpleAir map. Health categories apply to the rolling 1-hour average.
