population at risk means the population of a region or sub-region that is at risk of being harmed by air pollution, as determined by the relevant participating jurisdiction based on:
 (a) the number of, or potential for, adverse health effects from exposure to air pollution (for example fatalities, cancers or illnesses) in the population of a region or sub-region over a specified period of time; or
 (b) the rate of adverse health effects from exposure to air pollution for a given location or sub-population within the region or sub-region.
ppm means parts per million by volume.
reference method means a validated monitoring method used for collection of data.
region means an area within a boundary surrounding population centres as determined by the relevant participating jurisdiction.
sensitive land uses include residential premises, education and childcare facilities, nursing homes, retirement villages, hospitals and outdoor recreation sites.
