This is what we breathe in each week in #Melbourne. This filter paper was white 7 days ago and all of the material on it can end up in our lungs while we go about our daily lives. It’s not just pollen there is all sorts of material in our shared air. #AirQuality matters.

Not every day in the office looks like this! One of the best parts of my job is getting outside to service our pollen traps, making sure we’re collecting accurate data to help the community manage their health. It’s hard and hot work, but it keeps all Victorian’s safe.
