How Dublin Air Quality is calculated:
The headline status follows standard EPA methodology: it reflects the highest (worst) AQIH reading among active monitoring stations so localised pollution spikes and health risks are not masked.
Based on AQIH across active stations

Air Quality Index for Health (AQIH) Bands
dublincityairandnoise.ie ↗The EPA Air Quality Index for Health (AQIH) categorises air quality into 10 index levels across four bands based on rolling concentration thresholds for key pollutants:
Pollutant Concentration Thresholds:
| Band | Index | Ozone (O₃) 8-hr mean (µg/m³) | Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂) 1-hr mean (µg/m³) | PM₂.₅ 24-hr mean (µg/m³) | PM₁₀ 24-hr mean (µg/m³) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Good | 1 | 0 – 33 | 0 – 67 | 0 – 11 | 0 – 16 |
| 2 | 34 – 66 | 68 – 134 | 12 – 23 | 17 – 33 | |
| 3 | 67 – 100 | 135 – 200 | 24 – 35 | 34 – 50 | |
| Moderate | 4 | 101 – 120 | 201 – 267 | 36 – 41 | 51 – 58 |
| 5 | 121 – 140 | 268 – 334 | 42 – 47 | 59 – 66 | |
| 6 | 141 – 160 | 335 – 400 | 48 – 53 | 67 – 75 | |

General: Enjoy your usual outdoor activities.
At-Risk: Enjoy your usual outdoor activities.
Moderate (4–6)

At-Risk: Adults and children with lung problems, and adults with heart problems, who experience symptoms, should consider reducing strenuous physical activity, particularly outdoors.
Poor (7–9)
General: Anyone experiencing discomfort such as sore eyes, cough or sore throat should consider reducing activity, particularly outdoors.
At-Risk: Adults and children with lung problems, and adults with heart problems, should reduce strenuous physical activity, particularly outdoors, and particularly if they experience symptoms. People with asthma may need their reliever inhaler more often; older people should reduce physical exertion.
Very Poor (10)
General: Reduce physical exertion, particularly outdoors, especially if experiencing symptoms like cough or sore throat.
