Its latest report shows we met all EU legal requirements in 2022, but failed to meet WHO guidelines.
The choices people make in how they heat their homes and how they travel directly impact the quality of the air in Ireland.
A new EPA report shows air quality in the country is generally good, but there are concerning localised issues.
Ireland has met all of its EU legal requirements in 2022, but has failed to meet the more strict WHO guidelines.
The report has found the daily limit for PM10 was exceeded 139 times in Ireland last year - three of those instances were recorded at the station in Athlone, with another three in Birr.
Environmental Protection Agency Programme Manager, Patrick Byrne describes the problems with air quality here:
