FireLab3 combines three crucial research capabilities:

🔥 🌿 A flammability lab to conducting assessments of plant flammability,

🔥 🪵 A bioenergy lab to test domestic wood heater emissions, and

💨 😷 an exposure lab to simulate controlled smoke and temperature exposures

The Healthy Air Healthy Lives Study is being led by researchers at the University of Melbourne to develop communication materials.

We are asking you to contribute to (1) a 60-minute focus group discussion with other health care providers, either in-person or online, to share your perspectives; and (2) a 120-minute follow-up discussion 3-4 months later to provide your feedback on the development of health information.

🌸🍄We know that health care providers and educators are crucial in supporting people experiencing respiratory health issues, but we’re not sure what your information needs are in relation to the role of pollen and fungi on health.

✉️☎️To register your interest in this study and find out more, please contact Dr Sabrina Idrose or Dr Rachel Tham (healthy-airstudy@unimelb.edu.au) or phone (03) 9035 6074.

Your participation will help us understand your perspectives, current knowledge (and gaps) and future knowledge needs on the role of pollen and fungi on health, especially on susceptible people.
