Air Quality Monitoring in Carlow

Air quality monitoring in Ireland is led by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the national Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Programme (AAMP). Real-time and historic data from all monitoring stations across the State is available at all times at www.airquality.ie

In addition, the EPA operates an Air Quality Index for Health (AQIH), which runs on a scale from 1 (Good) to 10 (Very Poor). The latest AQIH for all monitoring station locations is also available at all times at www.airquality.ie

Carlow County Council have assisted the EPA in locating and installing the ambient air monitor at the Council Buildings, Athy Road, Carlow. This EPA monitor is referred to as Station 54 Carlow Town by the EPA. Detailed information and real time data relating to air quality levels in Carlow Town is available on the EPA website and can be accessed at https://airquality.ie/station/EPA-54
