"CON+AIR, is research project that explores the challenges that arise where climate policy CONflicts with AIR policy. The project was a partnership of the Dublin-based research consultancy EnvEcon, and the Bergen Norway based, Norwegian Institute for Air Research.
CONAIR was funded by the Irish EPA and ran for two years from until April 2019. The project focuses on potential emissions from residential sector heating and personal transport in the Republic of Ireland. Depending on the combination of fuels, technologies and social practices applied, these sectors can contribute to increased emissions of Nitrogen Oxides (NO & NO2) and particulates (PM10 & PM2.5) both of which contribute to adverse health outcomes.

Description of Geographical Characteristics of This Project or Dataset
The emissions scenarios in this project are for the Republic of Ireland in its entirety. The spatial distribution of emissons occurs along roads and small electoral areas. Air pollution concentration maps are made for Republic of Ireland and also for Dublin.
