"If you’re indoors right now, do you know how much of the air you're breathing
is someone else’s ‘breath backwash’ or what pollutants it contains?
The President of the Australian Academy of Science, Professor Chennupati
Jagadish AC, said the answer is likely ‘no’, because Australia does not monitor
indoor air to scientifically acceptable standards, despite much of our exposure
to airborne pathogens and other pollutants occurring indoors.
“What we do know is that indoor air pollution has a negative impact on our
health and there are available technological and policy solutions to address
it,” Professor Jagadish said.
A new report to be launched today by the Australian Academy of Science 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 at Parliament House in Canberra."
