Footscray & nearby monitors
Coloured points are the monitors feeding the estimate.
How this estimate works: Footscray has no air-quality monitor of its own, so we estimate PM2.5 by inverse-distance weighting the nearest official government monitors (closer monitors count for more), validated by leave-one-out cross-validation (±2.39 µg/m³). We show exactly which monitors fed the number and how far away they are. We never invent a reading for a place we can't measure.
