We are delighted to share the results of our recent Air Quality Monitoring Campaign with Globe Ireland, carried out by the Climate Action Committee in 5th & 6th Class with Mrs. Murray.
Thank you to everyone who supported this initiative. The students worked hard to collect data from different locations, and the results have now been analysed by the Globe Ireland lab.
Our Results for St Augustine’s NS Clontuskert
Location Type Tube ID NO₂ (µg/m³)
Heavy Traffic 2748259 6.44 Max
Moderate Traffic 2748302 2.26
Remote Area 2748268 1.67 Min
(NO₂ = Nitrogen Dioxide, measured in micrograms per cubic metre)
What does this mean?
These results indicate good air quality, as all values are well below the EU annual limit for NO₂, which is 40 µg/m³. Higher levels of NO₂ (above 40 µg/m³) are considered harmful and can contribute to respiratory problems, especially for children, older people, and those with asthma.
