Preparing for Killing Air Pollution

The dangers of air pollution including smoke pollution have been brought home to many over the last few months. Wildfire smoke has penetrated many cities and covered huge areas of regional Australia. Doctors are warning that smoke contains minute particles that penetrate into the smallest parts of our lungs. Pregnant women and those with respiratory problems are urged to stay indoors. 

Some suggested government actions for this aspect of our climate crisis are:

• a comprehensive public health program  • revision of labour laws to allow those at most risk to work from home or in a safe environment  • free respite facilities for the most vulnerable especially the homeless  • the building of smoke-safe public housing to accommodate the homeless  * funding research into lung disease  • ensuring other sources of air pollution are completely controlled  • provision of free quality face masks
