The EPA in partnership with An Taisce’s Environmetnal Education Unit launched a citizen science project this morning which seeks to recruit 1000 citizen scientists in Dublin to undertake NO2 sampling during October and November.
If you are in Dublin, you can apply for free to be one of 1,000 selected participants by the 22nd of September. If you are selected:
- We’ll send you out a measurement tube to put outside your chosen location from the 8th of October to the 5th of November.
- The tube will measure your average NO2 levels over the period.
- On the completion date, you’ll just need to take down the tube and post it back (in a pre-paid envelope) to the laboratory for analysis.
- You’ll get your results from us and we’ll create an interactive map on this website displaying all the results to the public.
- You will be able to see how your Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) levels compare to other parts of Dublin.
