Air Quality Bushfires Parliament House Pollution Smoke
CANBERRA SMOKE HAZE - A Chilling Reminder of the Devastating Bushfires
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this haunting print captured by Lukas Coch, the iconic Parliament House in Canberra emerges eerily through a thick blanket of smoke haze. Taken on January 1,2020, the image serves as a stark reminder of the catastrophic bushfire season that ravaged Australia. The air quality index reading at Monash's southern station in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) reached an alarming level of 4,650 - more than 23 times higher than the hazardous threshold of 200. The photograph encapsulates not only the immediate danger posed by these unprecedented levels but also highlights the long-term consequences and health risks associated with such extreme pollution. As wildfires engulfed vast areas across Australia during this period, choking smoke spread far beyond affected regions. This visual representation captures both nature's fury and its impact on urban centers like Canberra. The ominous atmosphere surrounding Parliament House symbolizes how even institutions meant to protect citizens were not immune to Mother Nature's wrath. Lukas Coch's powerful image stands as a testament to our collective responsibility towards environmental conservation and disaster preparedness. It serves as a call to action for governments, communities, and individuals alike to prioritize sustainable practices and mitigate climate change-induced disasters before they become irreversible.
