Introduction

Bucket: Air sampling deviceThe Townsville Bucket Brigade was established to organise a grass roots, community based air quality monitoring network. With the threats of Chalco, and the Townsville State Development Area looming, we need to organise, and take action to protect our health and quality of life.

The system works by individuals owning their own air sampling equipment. This consists of a bucket, pump, and sample bag. The samples are collected at various times, and sent off to certified laboratories for analysis.

In Yaloop, WA, this system secured improved government monitoring, and more restrictions on the Alcoa alumina refinery.
