The Ministry for the Environment and Stats NZ just released Our Air 2024, a three yearly report featuring data on air pollution levels and its impacts.
The report found that, while concentrations of various particulates had reduced, and overall air quality in Aotearoa had improved, air pollution had a much greater contribution to diseases and birth defects across the country than previously expected.
Oto spoke to Dr Joel Rindelaub, a senior lecturer in Chemical sciences at the University of Auckland, to discuss the report and the impacts of air pollution on the human body.
At the top of the show is Marijuana Media with Chris, thanks to The Hempstore. Then, Holly is in the studio for Cocktail Corner, thanks to Decibel Wines. Later, Aidan Fine calls into the studio for a yarn about his album release show at Whammy Bar this Rāmere.
We had the honour of premiering a beautiful new recording from Dudley Benson on today's show, ahead of the 7" release on Thursday. We also aired a couple from the latest release out of the always great Duppy Gun stable and new faves from Zorlock Compressor and Elijah Minnelli.
Winter is coming, and so is a projected increase in respiratory illnesses and COVID cases. Schools are particularly notorious breeding grounds for such diseases with children being more susceptible to respiratory illnesses.
Ultimately, this results in teachers also being subject to COVID and respiratory illnesses at a higher rate than other professions, and an increased number of teachers leaving the profession due to long COVID symptoms is worsening Aotearoa’s already severe teacher shortage.
For this week’s Get Action! Oto spoke to Tara Forde from Aotearoa Covid Action, to discuss a petition of hers calling for the government to prevent the spread of COVID in our schools by making improvements to school air quality and improving accessibility to Booster Vaccines and Rapid Antigen Tests.
