We have a rare opportunity to strengthen air pollution standards in Australia.

Health experts recommend stricter air pollution standards to protect communities.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends a standard for sulfur dioxide that is 11 times stricter than the current Australian standard.

Exposure to sulfur dioxide can cause acute respiratory illness, lung and organ damage, and serious birth defects during pregnancy.

A number of Australian communities are exposed daily to harmful levels of pollutants that exceed the WHO standards, especially in communities closest to power stations and major roadways.

The good news is the review provides us with an opportunity to fix this by advocating for stricter national air pollution standards.
