Most schools are only ventilated using windows, which are often closed. Installing high-filtration air conditioning would cut the spread of airborne viruses and save more than $1 billion per year.
Gas stoves are responsible for 12% of Australia’s childhood asthma. But replacing your cooktop might not be practical if you’re renting or struggling with cost-of-living.
Air con uses lots of energy – try these things first.
3D printers got a lot of attention when DIYers leapt to action to address equipment shortages early in the pandemic, but some everyday items found in hardware stores played a big role, too.
COVID has given us the opportunity to ensure our air is as safe as our water. It needn’t be expensive.
Governments and companies alike are budgeting millions for air cleaning technologies to curb the spread of COVID. Experts say standard building ventilation - and social distancing - work
With evidence showing the COVID virus is airborne, it’s no coincidence many outbreaks in schools have occurred in winter – when windows are closed.
The evidence shows the main way COVID-19 spreads is through the air. I propose 3 steps Australia needs to take to protect people from infection risk and other indoor air hazards.
Simulations of classrooms and offices can help determine the safest configurations to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
