What affects air quality in Dublin
The Dublin Region Air Quality Plan attributes a 2019 nitrogen dioxide exceedance at St. John’s Road West, just west of Dublin city centre, to transport emissions near that monitoring station.
A historical result for one roadside station in 2019, not a finding for every Dublin street or for current air quality; it does not establish the source, time or value of the AQI displayed above.
Local monitoring and context
Dublin City Council describes continuous air-quality monitoring in Dublin City through stations it operates and through stations in the national network managed with the EPA or other partners.
The council describes local monitoring arrangements, not uniform coverage at every address; those stations do not establish the source, time or value of the AQI displayed above.
The EPA's Clean Air Together project included a Dublin campaign in which volunteers measured nitrogen dioxide near homes, businesses or community premises.
This describes a past citizen-science campaign in Dublin, not continuous monitoring at every location or the source, time or value of the AQI displayed above.
City air quality FAQ
How should I read the AQI for Dublin?
European AQI condenses air quality into one value. On this page, it helps you quickly judge whether conditions look good, moderate or more polluted than usual.
Is the air quality good for going outside?
Check the outdoor and running cards first. They combine AQI, particles, ozone, weather and other factors that can affect outdoor comfort.
Should I ventilate right now?
The ventilation card considers AQI and pollutants such as particles, nitrogen dioxide and ozone. If values are elevated, a shorter opening or a later moment may be better.
Why can air quality change during the day?
Weather, emissions, ozone formation, particles and air flow can shift local conditions, so the next hours can differ from the current reading.
Sources and methodology
Current data
This page uses European AQI.
Current and hourly air-quality values are CAMS-based model estimates, not measurements from a local monitoring station. They may not reflect street-level conditions.
