Dublin benefits from its coastal location and prevailing Atlantic winds that help disperse pollutants. Traffic emissions along the quays and M50 corridor are the main concern. Residential solid fuel burning in winter can cause localized PM2.5 spikes. Overall, the city enjoys relatively clean air compared to other European capitals.
Dublin typically sees AQI readings between 15 and 45, mostly in the Good range. Winter evenings with residential heating can see localized PM spikes in some neighborhoods.
The Phoenix Park and Dublin Bay coastline offer excellent running conditions year-round. Morning runs avoid peak traffic emissions, and the frequent rain helps keep the air clean.
