Winter Air Bulletin Summary
During winter, particularly on cold still nights we can expect to see air quality decline in many towns and cities where people are burning solid fuels like peat, coal and wood to heat their homes. Dust concentrations are significantly higher in winter than in the summer. It can be helpful for people with heart or lung conditions including asthma to know when this is happening. Members of the public can check airquality.ie to plan their day and protect their health.
