Winter wood smoke, from research to policy

Summary

Wood heater smoke is the major source of particulate air pollution (PM2.5) in most Australian capital cities and many regional areas, often exceeding pollution from industry and traffic. In this webinar Centre for Safe Air postdoctoral research fellow, Dr. Nicolás Borchers Arriagada, presented new research findings regarding the health impacts of wood heater pollution across Australia and the benefits of replacing wood heaters with cleaner heating technologies. He was joined by Kate Garvey, a senior policy maker with the Tasmanian Department of Health and a health consumer whose respiratory condition is impacted by winter wood smoke. The discussion and a Q&A was facilitated by Dr Sabrina Idrose, Centre for Safe Air postdoctoral research fellow and webinar coordinator.
