Understanding of Ozone Levels in Ireland
O3I
The Center for Climate and Air Pollution Studies (CCAPS) is investigating changes in atmospheric composition and how they influence local to global pollution, impacting human and planetary health. The vision focuses on having cutting-edge observational and predictive capabilities to understand atmospheric composition changes from nanoscale processes to global impacts, including surface-based real-time networks and spaceborne observations. CCAPS aims to be the leading voice nationally in promoting knowledge transfer and supporting policy development and education in the areas of atmospheric, climate, and air pollution sciences.
"The Understanding of Ozone Levels in Ireland" is a project of CCAPS at the University of Galway, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ireland. The main objective of this project is to close the knowledge gap on contributions to ozone pollution in Ireland and deliver scientific support for the development of effective national mitigation strategies. The outcomes of these studies have the potential to significantly impact air quality research, providing valuable insights into environmental management and public health in Ireland.

Understanding Tropospheric Ozone: Measurements, Modelling, and Mitigation
Tropospheric ozone, a major air pollutant, poses significant challenges to environmental sustainability and public health. Despite advances in the measurement and modelling of tropospheric ozone over the past number of decades, there remains some uncertainty regarding the key drivers affecting background ozone concentrations in the Northern Hemisphere.The Centre for Climate and Air Pollution Studies at the University of Galway is hosting an online meeting to generate scientific discussion on the drivers of change in Tropospheric ozone levels over Europe and the North East Atlantic. The formation of an effective policy to limit ozone pollution requires a comprehensive understanding of atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric photochemistry, composition, transport, meteorology, and the impact of a changing climate. The meeting aims to expand the scientific cooperative network, articulate the most current scientific understanding of drivers of ozone pollution, and infusion of scientific and technical expertise into policymaking for the North Atlantic and European region.
