📢 A new report will be launched today by The Australian Academy of Science titled “Indoor air: the science of indoor air and pathways to improve indoor air quality in Australia”, which provides the latest scientific evidence on the issue and explores the policy pathways to improve indoor air quality in Australia.
It includes a call for a phased approach to establish enforceable indoor air quality performance standards in public buildings, beginning with monitoring and a workplace reporting standard.
The report will be officially launched by the Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care The Hon Rebecca White MP at The Safer Air Project’s second annual conference ‘Safer Shared Air. Making the Invisible Visible’ at Parliament House in Canberra today.
Academy Fellow, world-leading expert on indoor air and winner of the 2025 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science, Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska FAA FTSE, is the lead expert for the Academy’s new report.
