Motueka air quality monitoring
Last winter, we commissioned NIWA (a Crown Research Institute) to install air quality monitoring
sensors in locations around Motueka, Riwaka and Brooklyn to monitor particulate matter (PM10 and

Motueka has an air quality issue with some locations having smoke concentrations in excess of the
