25.01.2022 How should Australia's reporting of air quality improve? We've just released a position paper for technical audiences outlining our approach to achieving nationally consistent air quality reporting and health messaging. A similar position paper for general audiences coming soon! https://www.car-cre.org.au/position-papers

24.01.2022 Less than 2 weeks to our Landscape Fire Smoke symposium! Hear directly about how bushfire smoke affects health and discuss what policy issues need to be tackled next with our experienced panel https://bit.ly/3hRL037

23.01.2022 Delighted to announce that we have received funding from Australian Research Data Commons to expand our unique Data Platform for mapping and analysing air pollution data. More information about our platform https://cardat.github.io and our new funding https://ardc.edu.au//improving-access-to-public-sector-da/ and https://ardc.edu.au//new-data-projects-will-help-transfor/

21.01.2022 Smoke from the recent bushfires in east coast Australia caused an estimated 400 deaths- more than 10xs the official death toll from the bushfires themselves. Read the publication which included CAR researchers https://bit.ly/2UxyT2S

19.01.2022 Each year, man-made air pollution leads to: 1) more deaths (2,600) than Australian national road toll & 2) economic costs of $2.6 billion. This is despite what are considered 'safe' levels of air pollution in Australia. We need to move towards continuous reductions in air pollution as a national policy https://bit.ly/3c8YkAP

19.01.2022 From air purifiers to DIY hacks: What are the best ways to try to keep your home smoke-free? CAR's Amanda Wheeler and Fay Johnston explain what does and doesn't work to get away from the bushfire smoke https://ab.co/2FNZ6C4

17.01.2022 There is no safe level of air pollution! We need to move away from standard setting and towards continuous air quality improvement. Read yesterday's article on The Sydney Morning Herald covering a publication co-authored by CAR colleagues linking incidence of cardiac arrest and low levels of air pollution https://bit.ly/31118bT

16.01.2022 Better and consistent air quality information is needed says CAR’s Fay Johnston at today’s Bushfire Royal Comission hearing http://www.abc.net.au//bushfire-royal-commission-/12286094

15.01.2022 The biggest source of air pollution in greater Sydney is surprisingly from wood heaters. They also have the greatest mortality-more than road traffic and power stations! Read the latest publication involving CAR researchers https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2019.105429
