As much of Australia continues to wheeze through smoke haze, Canberran Shalev Nessaiver has taken it upon himself to find out just when, where and how badly the smoke will hit the city.
Shalev Nessaiver's wife is in the third trimester of her pregnancy, so as the smoke has rolled in and out of Canberra each day, the pair have watched it closely.
"I wanted to be able to tell my wife, 'Here's when you can go outside, here's when you should stay in.'"Like much of New South Wales, Canberra has been wheezing through thick smoke haze for more than a fortnight. "There's a lot of good information and, if you know where to look, you can find it and that's okay, but most people aren't going to do what I'm doing — look at all these different graphs, all these different things."
