A Dublin council has launched a new website that allows the public to check the quality of the air they breathe and the noise levels in their area.
It gives access to six stations set up by Dublin City Council to monitor local air quality conditions along with the network of eight air quality monitoring stations operated by the council in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency.
The air pollutants monitored include gases such as nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, and carbon monoxide as well as very fine dust particles.
The website also gives access to 13 sound level monitoring stations that are placed in locations across the city that are of value to the community or give a good indication of ambient sound levels within that general area.
Martin Fitzpatrick, Principal Environmental Health Officer with the Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit said: “Our citizens and their public representatives have been looking for some time for credible, readily accessible and real time information on the air quality across their city, and this new website is an important milestone for Dublin City Council in meeting that need.”
