Project Abstract

The project is aiming at producing quantitative source apportionment of hemispheric and trans-boundary transport of particulate matter in Ireland including natural and anthropogenic sources and sinks by applying statistical air mass back-trajectory analysis and Lagrangian approaches and long-term measurement data concurrently with climatic implications of fine and coarse particulate matter. A continuing support for long-term measurements of chemically speciated particulate matter at Mace Head will be provided. One of the major tasks associated with the proposed fellowship project is to support on-going research programmes and projects at Mace Head as agreed between EPA and NUIG, to facilitate field studies at Mace Head and to contribute to research papers and reports of work carried out at Mace Head.
