Thread on the main findings and implications from our @EPAIreland funded SAPPHIRE project.
1. Small towns in Ireland experience extreme #airpollution in winter due to residential burning of peat, wood and coal. Exposure to this pollution has a huge impact on #publichealth 2. We focused on measuring fine particulate pollution (PM2.5), which causes over 1100 premature deaths in Ireland each year.
