"Luxury Pollution"

The impact on neighbours is always overlooked.

Did you know?
Air pollution causes around 1,700 premature deaths every year in Ireland.
The health impacts fall hardest on children, older adults, and disadvantaged communities.
Clean air is not a luxury, it’s a public health necessity.
Evidence-based action matters.
#CleanAir
Clean air protects health, reduces healthcare costs, and supports climate goals.
Public voices matter in shaping air quality policy.
Evidence-informed decisions today = healthier communities tomorrow.
We all want to stay warm this winter…
but polluted air shouldn’t cost us our health
Smoke and air pollution from everyday activities can seriously affect the air we breathe, indoors and outdoors.

"Stay indoors” assumes our homes are hermetically sealed labs.
They aren’t. Outdoor smoke happily comes inside through doors, vents, cracks and windows.....that’s called air.
Telling people to hide indoors doesn’t stop pollution harming our health.

Car dependency still unresolved 🚗
Ireland’s transport plan invests in EVs and public transport but avoids measures like low-emission zones or congestion charging. EVs help, but don’t cut traffic or pollution alone.
We need fewer car trips, not just cleaner cars.
