Air & Weather
Atmosphere
The Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts has taken decisive measures in recent years to protect the atmosphere, and will continue working to improve the quality of air in urban areas and to ensure the recovery of the ozone layer. Australia's standards for air quality, whether already established or under development, represent world best practice in dealing with the threat air pollution poses to our health.
