SoE2017: Condition of aquatic ecosystem health
Queensland’s aquatic ecosystems vary significantly in condition. -
SoE2017: Commercial and industrial waste recovered or recycled
Between 2015–2016 and 2016–2017, the amount of commercial and industrial waste recovered or recycled increased by 1,500t (0.1%) to 1.319 million tonnes. -
SoE2017: Commercial and industrial waste landfilled
The 1.443 million tonnes of commercial and industrial waste landfilled in 2016–2017 was similar to the amounts reported in previous years. -
SoE2017: Carbon monoxide concentrations
Carbon monoxide levels have continued to decline over the past decade with levels in the last six years less than 20% of the National Environmental Protection Measure (NEPM) Air... -
SoE2017: Agriculture sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the agriculture sector decreased 6% between 2005 and 2016, mainly due to a decline in livestock numbers. -
SoE2015: Waste sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the waste sector increased 15% between 2005 and 2014, however waste emissions have fallen since 2011 due to increased capture and combustion of landfill gas. -
SoE2015: Vehicle kilometres travelled
Total motor vehicle travel (cars, trucks, buses), expressed as total vehicle kilometres travelled, shows continued and sustained growth over time. -
SoE2015: Vehicle emissions
Emissions from motor vehicles are a function of many factors, but most importantly total travel, fleet mix and emission control technology and driving behaviour. -
SoE2015: Transport sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the transport sector have increased 18% between 2005 and 2014. Road transport including passenger cars was the main source of emissions. -
SoE2015: Trackable waste recovered
In 2014-2015, 52% of the trackable waste (by waste amount) recovered (which includes recycling, reclamation, direct re-use or alternative use of the waste) in Queensland was in... -
SoE2015: Trackable waste landfilled
In 2014-2015, 63% of trackable waste (by waste amount) disposed to landfill in Queensland was in the high level waste category of 'solid and sludge wastes requiring special... -
SoE2015: Total annual greenhouse gas emissions
While Queensland's greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by 18% between 2005 and 2014, the state was the largest source of emissions in 2014 of all Australian jurisdictions. -
SoE2015: Stationary energy sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the stationary energy sector decreased by 1% between 2005 and 2014 but it continues to be the highest source of Queensland's emissions at 44% of total emissions. -
SoE2015: Per capita waste generation
Adjusting for population levels, the amounts of waste landfilled per capita in all regions were roughly comparable. -
SoE2015: Particulate concentrations
Particle concentrations have exceeded National Environmental Protection Measures (NEPM) Air Quality Standards since monitoring began in 1986. -
SoE2015: Ozone concentrations
While ozone levels in Townsville and Gladstone have never exceeded air quality standards, South East Queensland experienced exceedences in 2005, 2011 and 2015. -
SoE2015: Number of registered vehicles
The total number of registered motor vehicles shows continued and sustained growth over time. -
SoE2015: Nitrogen dioxide concentrations
Since 1993, there have been no exceedences of the National Environmental Protection Measures (NEPM) Air Quality Standards and no clear trends over the past decade. -
SoE2015: Major air pollutants
The National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) tracks air pollutant emissions for industrial sources across Australia. -
SoE2015: Land use, land use change and forestry sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the land sector have decreased 69% between 2005 and 2014, however Queensland is the largest source of this type of emission in Australia.
