🔥🪵 Lighting fires is the primary source of fine particulate pollution. 🔥💷 It's also almost always the more expensive option, and in urban areas is mostly a luxury enjoyed by the wealthiest households. urbanhealth.org.uk/insights/repor…

I love that the lawyer who connected climate attribution to health risk is one of Nature’s 10 people who shaped science in 2024. She led the lawsuit against the Swiss govt for violating the rights of older women by failing to take climate action. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Certainly time for more detailed discussion of low/zero/ultralow emission zones. Vehicular traffic a major source of air pollution and climate emissions.

🌃 On January 24th, #cleanairnight will take place, raising awareness about the importance of breathing clean air and protecting our health. 💨Poor air quality can make breathing harder, especially for children and the elderly, contributing to 1,600 premature deaths in Ireland

That's terrible! Enforcement of residential burning is difficult, so combining good policy with public awareness is key. We've seen big reductions in air pollution since the smoky fuels ban came into effect in 2022. Most noticeably in small towns...looking at you, #Enniscorthy

Thanks to amycampbell23 and EchoLive.ie for reporting my comments on the need to dramatically increase EV charging points in Cork. The city agreed an EV charging strategy in June. This needs to be implemented now with speed and ambition. echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…

Good bye and, as they say, thank you for all of the fish. Europe doesn't want more fascists again -- maga or mega. Staying here feels too much like an endorsement. You can find IrishCycle elsewhere.

#WoodBurning is the largest single source of #Health damaging PM2.5 in the UK & is an entirely unnecessary source of #AirPollution in the 21stC where people live, play, go to school... Find out the facts #CleanAirNight Wed 22 January cleanairhub.org.uk/clean-air-night

Great to see Cork City Council remove these contraptions👍 Reducing pollution at source is the only effective way to improve air quality. But I'm focusing on the good actions council has taken in improve air quality, including its network of low cost sensor network in city😃

A red letter day for commuter transport in Cork — Designs for new stations at Blackpool, Tivoli, Dunkettle & Blarney published — with P&R facilities at Blarney and Dunkettle. The rubber meeting the tarmac after four years of under-the-radar engineering work by Irish Rail. 👏👏
