A delayed government report on airborne dust levels in the area near the Alcoa refinery in Pinjarra has finally been released. It says the dust does not pose a threat to public health, but the potential impact on the town will be monitored more closely.
The Department of Water and Environmental Protection released the results of an air monitoring study on Thursday. The study measured air quality on the north-eastern outskirts of Pinjarra and found that dust levels were “below relevant national guidelines”.
