Good quality indoor air is critical for good health. Australians spend 90 per cent of their time indoors – in the home, office, or other types of buildings – where airborne particles, gases, chemicals, mould, and other pollutants can cause headaches, eye irritation, allergies, and fatigue. Serious pollutants can cause certain types of cancers and other long-term health complications.
Supplying clean air through a building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can prevent many environmental health hazards such as asthma. According to Asthma Australia, asthma affects one in nine Australians (around 2.7 million people).
The Indoor Air Quality Conference 2024 will be held in Melbourne from July 15–16.
The purpose of this conference is to provide AIRAH members and the broader industry with a platform for discussing issues related to indoor air quality (IAQ). The major theme of the conference is exploring new and emerging technologies to better understand the science of indoor air quality (IAQ).
INWIC will take part in this event and promote its activities by distributing flyers and brochures on its stand.
