A new street-by-street map has revealed Dublin city's worst spots for air quality.
Dublin's quays and Temple Bar have the poorest air quality in the city, according to the study. The 16-month study carried out by Google and Dublin City Council, and the data gathered in the study was released to the public on Tuesday.
Google’s Project Air View initiative, run by Dublin City Council through its Smart Dublin programme, captured the data using Google’s Street View car. In the study, it was discovered that the quays from O'Connell Bridge up to Heuston Station were in the red zone as it had poor levels of air quality which came from high levels of nitrogen concentration on roads (between 45-50%).
