The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Fires of pesticides: New source of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) in the environment. This project will quantify the emission of carcinogenic pollutants, produced as a consequence of intended and unintended combustion of pesticides and pesticide-contaminated biomass. The project will identify specific pesticides and agricultural practices (such as burning of sugar cane prior to harvest or burning biomass contaminated with pesticides for energy recovery) which may b ....Fires of pesticides: New source of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) in the environment. This project will quantify the emission of carcinogenic pollutants, produced as a consequence of intended and unintended combustion of pesticides and pesticide-contaminated biomass. The project will identify specific pesticides and agricultural practices (such as burning of sugar cane prior to harvest or burning biomass contaminated with pesticides for energy recovery) which may become regulated in Australia. The research will benefit Australia socially, by reducing the emissions of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans and thus protecting the environment and the population, and economically by identifying pesticides that do not produce pollutants in combustion processes and thus do not contaminate biomass intended for energy recovery.Read moreRead less
