Burnley Tunnel
The following four graphs show the level of emissions from the Burnely Tunnel ventilation stack for a 24 hour period starting from 6am. The Burnley Tunnel ventilation stack is located near Rooney Street and Barkly Avenue, Burnley.
All graphs show hourly moving averages at 15 minute intervals (blue line). The horizontal line shows the EPA Licence Limit (red line).
These graphs are updated at approximately 9am (AEST) each morning. It should be noted that all emissions from the Burnley Tunnel during normal operations (which excludes emergency situations like fire and smoke management) are via the stack and there are no emissions from the portals.
CO: Carbon Monoxide: A product of incomplete combustion of fuel in engines.
NO2: Nitrogen Dioxide: Produced through the oxidation of atmospheric Nitrogen during the combustion process.
PM10: Particles with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or smaller. PM10 includes PM2.5 (below).
PM2.5: Particles with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 microns or smaller.
Disclaimer
The graphs on this page are plotted from data that comes directly from the stack monitoring equipment located in the Burnley Tunnel. This data may be adjusted at a later time through a standardised procedure to account for instrument errors, power interuptions and the like.
