I've written about the pollution hotspots in Dublin, delighted to be part of the work along with my collaborators in ucd.
Where are the air pollution hotspots in Dublin city? Researchers using Google Street View air quality data can pinpoint the parts of the city with the biggest concentrations of pollutants. By @DOC_at_DCU @DCU @Researchirel & Jiayao Chen @ucddublin rte.ie/brainstorm/2024/1211/…

Good action shot of me pushing chemistry on the masses @DCUChemistry
Delighted to be part of this work that uses hyper-local data (goggle car air quality sensors) to understand the pollution all around us. #AirPollution link.springer.com/article/10…
Delighted to see the work of Agsense a @SFI funded challenge get some attention. The project is looking at innovative ways monitor potato bright.
