Thread on the main findings and implications from our @EPAIreland funded SAPPHIRE project. 1. Small towns in Ireland experience extreme #airpollution in winter due to residential burning of peat, wood and coal. Exposure to this pollution has a huge impact on #publichealth

The levels are so high that the air quality index for health has been at the worst score possible for the last 48 hours! . This is a recurring issue. Action is urgently needed to protect public health.

The last two nights have seen very high and unhealthy levels of #Airpollution in many towns across Ireland. Letterkenny was the worst hit with massive spikes in PM2.5 and sulfur dioxide (SO2) due to the burning of high sulfur fuels (e.g. smoky coal).

This is a great article on the benefits of low cost sensor networks for assessing and managing air pollution. Delighted that the Cork City network we helped set up with @corkcitycouncil is used as a good example of mapping urban air quality.

We would all benefit from cleaner air, so make sure you pop along to this unique event in Cork City on Saturday to find out how you can contribute.

Maarten Kieft, CEO of Luper Technologies (Netherlands), and PhD student Merve Polat from the National Research Centre for the Working Environment (Denmark), conducted a 3-week programme of simulation chamber experiments on the atmospheric oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Our lab was very busy this summer as we hosted researchers from several European countries at our atmospheric simulation chamber facility, through the @atmo_access project. Dr Williams Esteve and Dr Sophie Tomaz, from @INRSfrance, conducted novel experiments on surface coatings.
