New national modelling has exposed the deadly toll of wood heater smoke in Australia, linking it to hundreds of premature deaths and widespread exposure to dangerous air pollution.

With fine particle emissions triggering asthma, heart attacks, strokes and even cancer, researchers say the health risks are far worse and more widespread than previously understood.

The Centre for Safe Air, University of Tasmania researchers calculated the health impact of wood heater emissions in Australia during 2015.

They estimated that 729 people die prematurely each year as a result of long-term exposure to wood heater smoke.

Wood heater smoke is a major source of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a known trigger for asthma. While short-term exposure to PM2.5 tends to worsen existing conditions like asthma, long-term exposure can lead to reduced lung function, the development of asthma and/or faster progression of the disease.

New South Wales led the nation with the highest total wood heater emissions of PM2.5 particle pollution (12.3 million kg/year) and the highest number of estimated premature deaths from wood heater pollution (382/year). This equates to five people dying prematurely each year for every 100,000 people, making NSW the state with the heaviest burden on public health.

Coadministering covid boosters with annual flu shots could reduce hospital burden by as much as 14%, according to the latest mathematical modelling from the Burnet Institute.

The potential reductions in hospital burden were even greater when looking at the ≥ 65 population, cutting covid-related hospital admissions by more than a quarter, although this required twice as many doses due to the biannual vaccination schedule recommended for this age group.

In 2023, there were almost 4000 covid-related deaths, 62,000 hospitalisations and an 11% overall vaccination rate. By July 2024, only 7% of Australians aged 18–64 years had received a covid vaccine in the previous 12 months.

The study urged an increase in covid vaccine coverage to match influenza, which is a less effective vaccine for a disease with a smaller burden. There were 370 national influenza-related deaths for 2023, and the vaccination rate was 32%

“By offering a covid booster vaccination alongside the annual influenza vaccination, we could aim to achieve similar vaccination coverage for covid as influenza, which would make a meaningful difference in reducing hospital admissions and deaths,” said Associate Professor Nick Scott, Burnet head of modelling and biostatistics

High blood pressure is a common and potentially dangerous condition  affecting almost one in four people. It generally has no symptoms yet is a big contributor to heart attacks, strokes chronic kidney disease and dementia. The only way to know whether you have high blood pressure is to get it checked. We encourage people to use the blood pressure machine in the waiting area, although it’s best to rest for 5 minutes before taking a reading.

A whooping cough epidemic of unprecedented proportions is spreading through Australia, with more than 45,000 cases expected to be diagnosed by the end of the year.
That is compared to just 2454 cases in the entirety of 2023, 482 in 2022, and surpassing the previous record of 38,748 in 2011.

Whooping cough can be deadly for infants and can lead to severe illness in older children and adults – especially those with asthma, who are four times more likely to be infected and have a higher chance of being admitted to hospital.

Whooping cough starts off like a cold, followed prolonged bouts of coughing. Treatment with antibiotics is available, but need to be used early to be effective.

Of course prevention is always better than cure. 
The clinic has the whooping cough vaccine, which also covers tetanus, available. It is included in routine childhood immunisation, and also free of charge for pregnant women. Others can have it for $45 with protection for 5 to 10 years.
