CSA is calling for Oz to develop a national health & clean air strategy. With > 3000 deaths and many more suffering air pollution related illnesses each year, we have a lot to gain.

Professor Fay Johnston said Centre for Safe Air research showed "traffic pollution is the single-most important source of air pollution".
"If we're wanting to reduce chronic heart disease and illness and deaths, traffic pollution is a good place to look."

Car pollution is deadly. New research shows us just how much
Vehicle emissions may contribute to more than 1,800 premature deaths in Australia each year, according to the nation's first assessment of the health impact of traffic-related pollution.

“When people think of pollution they often picture smokestacks, vehicle exhaust and coal-fired power stations, but wood heaters pollute more fine particulate matter into the air we breathe than any of these sources,” said Professor Fay Johnston. #airquality #cleanair #electrification
A burning issue: why it’s time to ditch the wood-fired heater and opt for eco alternatives
Wood burning is one of the biggest sources of fine particulate pollution in Australia. Here are ways to reduce emissions and improve your health

“When people think of pollution they often picture smokestacks, vehicle exhaust and coal-fired power stations, but wood heaters pollute more fine particulate matter into the air we breathe than any of these sources,” said Professor Fay Johnston. #airquality #cleanair #electrification
Australian wood heater standards do not reflect how much air pollution they produce.
As a result, Dr John Todd said, new wood heaters were up to 10 times more polluting than the standards suggested.

Why Australia hasn't adopted NZ's solution to wood smoke pollution
A new generation of low-emission wood heaters that produce a fraction of the particulate pollution of current models could save lives by improving air quality, researchers say.

🚨 New research from the Centre for Safe Air reveals wood heater smoke causes more deaths than car pollution in Australia—729 lives lost yearly. A national map shows where the risk is highest. #AirPollution #PublicHealth #SafeAir
Wood heater smoke is a silent killer but one city tops the list
Wood heaters are estimated to be responsible for more pollution-related deaths than all the cars on our roads. This national map shows which areas are affected the most.

As Australia enters peak flu season, we ask why Australian schools have lower standards for air quality monitoring, ventilation and filtration than many greenhouses and pet shelters. www.croakey.org/australian-c... @croakeynews.bsky.social
Australian classrooms have worse air quality protections than many pet shelters and greenhouses
Efforts to protect the health and wellbeing of children in childcare centres and schools could learn from air quality measures
