International air quality expert Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska, in liaison with QUT’s Facilities Management, is developing a protocol to undertake air quality auditing of the internal spaces of QUT facilities.
Professor Morawska said the assessment aimed to ensure excellent air quality, which would ensure a lower risk of infection of airborne viruses including COVID-19, as well as other benefits for QUT staff and students.
“Better air quality means lower concentration of indoor generated pollutants, in particular carbon dioxide, which means better performance and better health,” Professor Morawska said.
