Safer indoor air: from science to policy

Summary

Improving indoor air quality is one of the best ways to improve public health and reduce the health burden associated with infectious diseases, asthma, and a range of other health conditions. While we spend nearly 90% of our time indoors, indoor air quality is largely unregulated and is subject to pollution from a range of indoor and outdoor sources. In this Centre for Safe Air webinar, we heard from a leading expert in indoor air quality, Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska (QUT), and Policy Manager at Asthma Australia, Angela Cartwright. The webinar and Q&A was facilitated by Centre for Safe Air Postdoctoral Researcher, Dr Nicolás Borchers Arriagada. The webinar explored indoor air quality as it relates to public buildings (including the science behind the push for national indoor air quality standards) and in the home (in relation to asthma triggers, policy developments and recommendations).
