"Last month, a delegation led by Brendan Crabb, head of the Burnet Institute, a
prestigious medical research body, met Anthony Albanese in the prime minister’s
parliament house office.
Its members, who included Lidia Morawska from Queensland University of
Technology, a world-leading expert on air quality and health, also blitzed
ministers and staffers. They were pitching for the federal government to
spearhead a comprehensive policy on clean indoor air and for the issue to be
put on the national cabinet’s agenda.
They pointed out to Albanese that indoor air is an outlier in our otherwise
comprehensive public health framework. Despite people spending the majority of
their time inside, indoor air quality is mostly unregulated, in contrast to the
standards that apply to, for example, food and water.
There are multiple health and economic reasons to be concerned about this air
quality but a major one is to limit the transmission of airborne diseases, such
as COVID."
