CO2 and indoor air quality of Australian offices and schools

Increasingly, modern Australian offices and indoor workspaces are designed to be energy-efficient and comfortable for the people working there. However, well-sealed and insulated buildings can also negatively impact indoor air quality (IAQ) if there isn’t enough ventilation. This can seriously affect employees’ health, well-being, and productivity. Monitoring and managing IAQ using devices like CO2 meters…

Biodegradable plastics and solving a pollution problem

As the global concern regarding plastic pollution continues to rise, the search for sustainable solutions has become more urgent than ever. In Australia and New Zealand, researchers are making significant strides towards this end, focusing particularly on the development of biodegradable plastics. This activity is supported by advances in the United States where there has…

An endangered frog and soil water potential

Soil water potential, an endangered frog and climate change are three topics rarely discussed together. Yet, recent research from the University of Western Australia found that the successful breeding of an endangered frog is intricately linked with soil water potential which, in turn, may be altered by climate change dynamics. Understanding the interplay of these…
