#Canberra Air Report:

WARNING: ACT Health hourly data (at times) DO NOT REFLECT prevailing conditions. People are running outdoors and that is UNSAFE (and heartbreaking). Real-time updates are important right now, as winds can change suddenly. #airquality

@fishjourner @multimodalism @AsthmaAustralia This is great, as there’s a large population in Sydney. There are many people/children in rural & regional Australia who don’t even have monitoring. These places are working of averages of surrounding areas that can be, as we’ve experienced, misleading.

[Kate McAlister @pixadaze]

@fishjourner @multimodalism @AsthmaAustralia Yes agree real time data may be too late but can showing trends of improving or worsening to support decisions to go ahead with outdoor activity

[Kate McAlister @pixadaze]

@multimodalism @fishjourner @AsthmaAustralia At the moment we are using @CanberraAir app as it’s providing more accurate real time data compared to the @ACTHealth web page. Our daycare will notify us, but we are also monitoring for poor air quality so we can keep exposure to a minimum

[Kate McAlister @pixadaze]

It’s been a difficult and scary time for all. My heart goes out to all those affected by the fires. We need better monitoring and alerts for air quality. #ClimateEmergency #AustraliaFires #airquality #publichealthemergency #Asthma #NSWbushfires

A significant lag in reporting of air quality means people are suffering & exposing themselves to hazardous pollutants. #Realtimereporting is required now. #bushfires #asthma #publichealthemergency

#Canberra Air Report:

Good morning. The air got much better last night. If your home has been very smoky, now might be a good time to open some windows, for a bit.

New fires to the west make forecasting more difficult. It may get a worse over the day, but not horrifically so.

Again:
An obstetrician has said babies are being born in smoke filled rooms
Going home to smoky houses
We know smoke is strongly linked to SIDS
That's just a tiny piece of what is going on.
ACT has a health crisis no government is talking about

If you're in Canberra, check whether you're in a bushfire-prone area (more of the ACT than you might think)
