School children’s exposure to indoor fine particulate matter
Assessing the exposure of children to indoor fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is important because children spend about one third of their day inside early learning microenvironments. Children are more vulnerable to air pollution due to a number of physiological reasons and, therefore, it is crucial to explore the factors that affect indoor (and outdoor) PM 2.5 levels in these locations to determine appropriate measures to reduce children's expo…
Inequalities in exposure to the air pollutants PM 2.5 and NO 2 in Australia
Vulnerable subpopulations may be exposed to higher levels of outdoor air pollution than the rest of the population. Due to the potential for this to exacerbate their existing health burden, concerns about disparities in subpopulations’ air pollution exposure have motivated international public health researchers to examine this topic. In Australia, such research is lacking to date, despite heterogeneity in air pollution at multiple spatial scales…
Environmental justice analyses may hide inequalities in Indigenous people’s exposure to lead in Mount Isa, Queensland
Distributive environmental justice studies frequently identify how ethnic minorities and communities of low socio-economic status (SES) are disproportionately likely to live in areas with an elevated risk of exposure to pollution. Few distributive justice studies have been conducted in Australia to explore whether this relationship is relevant to rural mining communities. In the remote mining city of Mount Isa, studies have found higher geometric…
After Mazibuko: Exploring the responses of communities excluded from South Africa's water experiment
Despite a constitutional right to water, challenges remain for access to sufficient water in South Africa. This article considers the degree to which current legal provisions perpetuate approaches that are antithetical to genuinely eco-socio-sustainable water access. Water in South Africa has largely been re-cast as a commodity, exposed to market rules, proving problematic for many and giving rise to various responses, including litigation. In th…
A Pilot Study of Children’s Blood Lead Levels in Mount Isa, Queensland
Mount Isa, Queensland, is one of three Australian cities with significant lead emissions due to nonferrous mining and smelting. Unlike the two other cities with lead mines or smelters, Mount Isa currently has no system of annual, systematic, community-wide blood lead level testing; and testing rates among Indigenous children are low. In previous screenings, this group of children has been shown to have higher average blood lead levels than non-In…
The Australian National Pollutant Inventory Fails to Fulfil Its Legislated Goals
Publically accessible pollution databases, such as the Australian National Pollutant Inventory, contain information on chemical emissions released by industrial facility and diffuse sources. They are meant to enable public scrutiny of industrial activity, which in turn, is meant to lead to industries reducing their pollution. In Australia, however, concerns have been consistently raised that this process is not occurring. To assess whether Austra…
Evaluating the liberal arts model in the context of the Dutch University College
The Liberal Arts model of undergraduate education within small, internationally-focused University Colleges is becoming increasingly popular in Europe. This trend is most notable in the Netherlands, where the liberal arts model is acclaimed as filling a gap in Dutch undergraduate education at conventional research universities. This paper explores the status of the Dutch University College as simultaneously continuing the liberal arts tradition o…
