EMEP (The European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) Air Quality monitoring sites
This dataset lists the locations of EMEP (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) air quality monitoring sites in Ireland, including both currently and previously active stations. EMEP is a cooperative programme for monitoring and evaluating the long-range transmission of air pollutants in Europe. The dataset is published via Ireland's open data portal and provides site-level location information useful for identifying where air quality measurements relevant to the EMEP network have been or continue to be recorded.This is a dataset of the locations of all currently and previously active EMEP air quality monitoring sites.
