Fact sheets

CRC CARE Fact sheet 13 - Coal seam gas mining in Australia

Coal seam gas has rapidly become a major industry in Australia during the last decade. The multi-billion dollar industry has also become a controversial and divisive one between property owners and mining companies. It is still unclear whether the impact of the coal seam gas mining industry on the environment is as serious as some critics predict.

CRC CARE Fact sheet 12 - PFCs

Perfluorochemicals (PFCs) are chemicals that can improve the ability of fire-fighting foam to smother fire. This feature makes them very attractive to manufacturers, and as such they have long been used in fire-fighting foam. PFCs are also widely used in the treatment of fabrics and leather, and in paper products, food packing and insecticides.

CRC CARE Fact sheet 11 - Water quality

Science allows us to detect the substances that exist right before our very eyes, but that we can’t see with the naked eye. By using science we can discover things that are in our air, food and water, and in our houses, schools and workplaces that might not be so healthy for us.

CRC CARE Fact sheet 10 - Pesticide residues

Pesticides are substances that are designed to kill or discourage pests – such as insects, rodents, fungi, weeds, parasites and bacteria which threaten the food supply or public health and safety. However, being mostly designed to kill, pesticides can sometimes have harmful effects on humans, livestock and the natural environment, especially if they enter the food chain or drinking water supply.
