IRELAND’S
ENVIRONMENT

❉

❉

OZONE
CONCENTRATIONS
are highest
in warmer
weather

THERE ARE CHALLENGES AHEAD
THE INCREASE IN
ROAD TRANSPORTATION
means Ireland did NOT
meet the 2010 EU National
Emission Ceiling for
Nitrogen Oxides

86%

reduction in
emissions of sulphur
dioxide between
1990 and 2010

The impact of emissions
from industry on air
quality has significantly
reduced due to licensing
and control by the EPA
and others

IRELAND IS REQUIRED UNDER EU LAW
to decrease exposure to fine
Particulate Matter (PM2.5) by 10%
between 2012 and 2020 to reduce
potential impacts on
human health

The ban on bituminous coal
In cities & towns has greatly
reduced the levels of
particulate pollution in
those areas

359

fewer
cardiovascular &
respiratory deaths
every year in
Dublin
