The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), in collaboration with the Department of Health and Ageing, commissioned a systematic review of national and international literature and practices in relation to air quality in and around traffic tunnels. This review formed the basis of a national NHMRC workshop attended by experts from the health and environment sectors, as well as representatives of government agencies and consumer groups. The outcomes of the review, workshop and subsequent submissions were analysed to inform the development of the Air Quality in and around Traffic Tunnels - Final Report. This Report evaluates the factors associated with poor air quality in and around traffic tunnels and the subsequent health effects resulting from exposure to air pollution.
