在澳大利亚，与暴露于空气污染有关的年度健康费用估计在30亿至53亿美元之间。考虑到这些成本，进行研究以确保公共卫生官员和政策制定者充分了解澳大利亚的空气污染问题至关重要。该项目建议通过制定方法来检测空气污染浓度的趋势和减少记录的空气污染浓度的测量误差来满足这一需求。这将使有关当局能够对空气污染的健康成本作出更准确的估计，并执行更适当的污染条例和健康警告。

The annual health costs associated with exposure to air pollution in Australia have been estimated at between $3 and 5.3 billion. Given these costs, it is vital to conduct research that ensures public health officials and policy makers stay fully informed of Australia’s air pollution problem. The project proposes to address this need by developing methodology to detect trends in air pollution concentrations and reduce measurement error in recorded air pollution concentrations. This will enable relevant authorities to produce more accurate estimates of air pollution health costs and implement more appropriate pollution regulations and health warnings.
