Despite the importance of clean air for health, the legal environment regulating air pollution is complex and evolving. Air quality is subject to a combination of local, state, and commonwealth laws and by-laws. Consequently, it can be hard to know where to turn if your air becomes polluted.

Our excellent speakers include: Dr Shilpi Tiwari, Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Healthy Environment And Lives (HEAL) Network at RMIT University John Tullio, Senior Solicitor, Regulatory Litigation, EPA Victoria Michelle Isles, Chief Executive Officer, Climate and Health Alliance (CAHA) The webinar will be Chaired by Dr Sabrina Idrose, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Centre for Safe Air and the Allergy and Lung Health Unit at the University of Melbourne.
