Killarney air quality “good” according to report
By Sean Moriarty
Air quality in Killarney is “good” according to reports by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Kerry County Council.
The EPA installed an air quality monitor in the Killarney area in July following a request by Cllr John O’Donoghue.
“It is estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency that poor air quality due to Fine Particulate Matter causes 1,300 premature deaths in Ireland each year so it is vital that air quality continues to be monitored,” he said.
He asked Kerry County Council at a recent Killarney Municipal District meeting to provide an update on air quality results following the installation of the monitor.
"The unit monitors particulate levels on a constant basis and provides real time information to the public on air quality. The unit is part of the national monitoring network which is being rolled out by the EPA with the support and assistance of local authorities. To date, the monitoring information for Killarney has been quite positive,” a Council engineer told the meeting.
Cllr O’Donoghue added: “I am delighted with the result”.
