Volatile Organic Compound passive sampler data from GISERA Air Quality study

Volatile organic compound, aldehyde and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) passive samplers were deployed at 10 sites in the Surat Basin as part of the Gas Industry Social and Environmental Research Alliance (GISERA) Surat Basin Ambient Air Quality project. \nSamplers were deployed for an average exposure time of 2 weeks, providing a 2-week average concentration for each gas. A total of 54 individual gases were measured. VOC samplers were deployed for 16 months from September 2014 - January 2016 and Radiello aldehyde and hydrogen sulphide passive samplers were deployed for 7 months from June 2015 – January 2016. Samplers were deployed at gas field sites which were in close proximity to coal seam gas (CSG) infrastructure, at regional sites, and in Chinchilla township.\nThe purpose of the measurements was to compare concentrations of gases to relevant air quality guidelines. Data was reported in Lawson et al., 2018, Intermediate Data Summary report, see https://gisera.csiro.au/project/ambient-air-quality-in-the-surat-basin/).\n\nLineage: Samplers were deployed by SGS Consulting Chinchilla and analysed by SGS Consulting Mitcham. Concentration data were provided to CSIRO.
