Brief description
The CAUL Hub is undertaking research to understand the main causes of poor air quality in urban areas in order to help inform future plans for monitoring air quality and policies designed to reduce exposure to particulate matter and other pollutants. It is well understood that much of the exposure to trace pollutants occurs indoors so we will also study indoor air quality across a range of domestic and public environments. This project is focusing on both outdoor and indoor air quality.
The initial focus of this project is the Western Sydney region, a significant urban centre with a complex mix of air quality issues. The project aims to develop measurement and modelling techniques that can be used to understand air quality in urban areas across Australia.
Notes In addition to the NESP funding, this project is matched by an equivalent amount of in-kind support and co-investment from project partners and collaborators.
