Waste Emission Points

DatasetProfiled3/7blocked by executablePreviewSubscribe🇮🇪Ireland

This dataset provides the geographic locations of emission points at waste facilities in Ireland, including sites that are EPA-licensed, have applications pending, or have been closed. It is maintained in connection with Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency licensing processes. Users should note a time lag between when an emission point receives its licence and when it is subsequently reflected in this dataset. The data supports identification and mapping of waste-related emission sources across the country for environmental monitoring and licensing-related purposes.The location of emission points from Waste facilities (EPA Licensed, applied, closed etc.) In terms of usage of this dataset please note that there is a period of time between when an emission points is licensed and when it appears in this dataset.
