The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s research programme on Air quality has focused on assessment of urban air quality, traffic impacts and development of understanding of particulate matter (PM) in the Irish atmosphere. Research projects combined both measurement and modelling activities and were linked to international assessments and activities in these areas.
Key projects:
These projects will assist the development of the monitoring network in line with the requirements of the EU Air Framework Directive.
Additional work on air pollution has been carried out under the Environmental Research Centre (ERC). This focuses on regional and transboundary air pollution issues arising from the UNECE Convention on Long Range Transport of Air Pollution (CLTRAP) and linked processes under EU Clean Air For Europe (CAFE) program.
