Air Quality Cork
Air Quality in Cork
Friday 15 October, 1-2pm
A free public talk and Q&A about Cork's air quality, with researchers from University College Cork (UCC) and Cork City Council. Learn about the local sources & hazards of air pollution, how to track Cork's air quality in real-time, and the UCC projects that are focused on better understanding and protecting our air quality.
In particular, the talk will showcase a new Cork Air Quality Dashboard, which launched in 2021. This is the result of a partnership between the CRAC Lab, UCC and the Cork City Council.
A free 30 min talk will be followed by a Q&A session with our panellists.

Together with and for Community
Cork City Council: Cork City Council's Air Quality Monitoring Programme works in partnership with the EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Network. This network is a series of air quality monitoring stations that are located across the country. There are 4 air quality monitoring stations installed across Cork City Council's functional area as part of the National Ambient Air Quality Network.
RADICAL: This event is coordinated by the RADICAL project, which is led by UCC. RADICAL is an EU-funded research project to develop a novel type of low-cost sensor to detect atmospheric radicals, for better air quality monitoring.
Environmental Research Institute: This event is supported by the Environmental Research Institute (ERI). ERI is a flagship UCC institute that integrates over 400 researchers from 20 University schools and departments and 6 research centres to work together to accelerate the transition to a sustainable society.
UCC Community Week: This event is part of UCC Community Week 2021. During Community Week, staff and students across the university come together with community and public sector partners to host community focussed events and activities. The week long programme of events celebrates UCC as a civically engaged university.
