Can anyone tell me in what order the most polluted capital cities are in Australia?

Question

I mean air pollution to sorry..

And yes state capitals

Answer 1

Mate, it depends what you mean by pollution, because it comes in a lot of different forms from air quality (where Sydney gets stuffed badly) to water quality and so on. You need to tighten your question up before you get meaningful answers.

@ Robert - Australia has a Capital - Canberra, we also have state capitals, one in each state (no surprise) which is what the questioner is asking about, I think.

*edit*

Sydney is certainly the worst according to a recent abc article, but I haven't found anywhere that lays out the list in simple order.

Having said that, I found out where the list is - when you look it over you will probably agree that it is anything but simple! Though it does answer your question.

Answer 2

By far the worst is Sydney.
For more info go to www.bom.gov.au as they have all manner of info on pollution ratings, etc.

Answer 3

When you think about it they are the ones that are downwind from industry and have the highest use of cars. I.e. Perth would be a lot dirtier if it was downwind of the mines etc in western Oz.

Answer 4

I believe there is only one Capitol of Australia
I'm not very familiar with Australia
