Dublin City Council has launched the results of Google’s Project Air View initiative, which measured the air quality of Dublin City’s streets over a period of 16 months and gathered over 50 million pieces of data. The project was delivered in partnership with the City Council’s Smart Dublin programme, with data captured by Google’s first electric Street View car equipped with Aclima’s mobile air sensing platform. The mapped, street-by-street air quality data is a first for an Irish city, and provides unique insights that will enable the Council, businesses, and citizens to work collaboratively to improve air quality for Dublin. The data will also be used by the City Council to help inform current and future environmental and climate policies, and planning efforts.
