the following must be taken into account -
 (a) equipment for the purpose of monitoring air toxics must, where appropriate, be situated to determine the cumulative impact of multiple sources;
 (b) despite the requirements under sub-clause (a), where the concentration of air toxics from road sources is being monitored, cumulative impacts may relate to emissions from one type of source, such as motor vehicles;
 (c) when monitoring street canyons, monitoring equipment should be sited to ensure that maximum concentrations of air toxics are determined, as concentrations on opposing sides of canyons can vary widely; and
 (d) in wood smoke impacted areas, PM10 performance monitoring stations as designated under the National Environment Protection (Ambient Air Quality) Measure may be used for monitoring of PAHs and other air toxics associated with wood smoke.
 (3) Notwithstanding the requirements of sub-clause (1), when siting monitoring equipment at roadside Stage 2 sites, equipment must be sited within 20 metres of the kerbside and the distance from the kerb must be reported.

11 Accreditation
 (1) Subject to subclause (2), an operator conducting monitoring for the purpose of this Measure must be accredited for the relevant methods by the National Association of Testing Authorities.
 (2) An operator may apply an equivalent system, approved by the National Association of Testing Authorities, for ensuring adequate monitoring, quality assurance and validation procedures.

12 Evaluation of monitoring results against monitoring investigation levels
 The results of any monitoring must be assessed against the monitoring investigation levels identified in Schedule 3 to this Measure.  For any exceedence of a monitoring investigation level identified in Schedule 3 to this Measure, the jurisdiction must undertake some form of evaluation to determine the circumstances that led to the exceedence, including the likely sources of the air toxics and influence of natural factors.

13 Reporting
 (1) Each participating jurisdiction must submit a report to Council in accordance with Schedule 4 to this Measure.
 (2) A report submitted in accordance with sub-clause (1) must be submitted to Council by the 30 June next following each reporting year.
 (3) In this clause "reporting year" means a year ending on 31 December.

14 Review of the Measure
