RMIT University 2022 PhD Scholarship in Indoor Air Quality in Schools: (Deadline Ongoing)
Children are vulnerable to poor air quality as pollutant exposure during developmental stages may produce lifelong issues, some of which may become apparent only later in life. The Covid -19 pandemic has brought about an increased focus on air quality in schools. In addition, extreme weather events such as heat waves, thunderstorms and bushfires, as well as planned burning prior to the fire season, are becoming more common due to climate change, resulting in phenomena such as increased smoke haze that affect IAQ in classrooms. There is limited knowledge about the effects of such events on IAQ.
This project will investigate indoor air quality of schools and will explore various interventions such as air filtration technologies for improving indoor air quality. It will focus on schools located in a range of environments such as those impacted by traffic pollution, residential wood burning and bushfire smoke.
