The attenuation of microorganisms in on-site wastewater effluent discharged into highly permeable subsoils
(2012)An extensive field study on percolation areas receiving both septic tank and secondary treated on-site effluents from single houses in Ireland was carried out to investigate the attenuation capacity of highly permeable ... -
Barriers to Sustainable Transport in Ireland
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2011)This synthesis report provides an overview of the findings from the Assessing the Barriers to SustainableTransport in Ireland project and distils the conclusions outlined in the End of Project Report. The purpose of this ... -
Behaviour and Properties of Lime-Pozzolan Pastes
(2010)Lime pozzolan mortars have been used by numerous ancient civilizations of builders, and are now regaining popularity as environmental sustainable alternatives to cements for masonry and concrete applications. This paper ... -
Greening Transport: Final Report
(2020)The vision of the Greening Transport project was to merge the technical evaluation of emissions from transport, and improvements in their calculation, with an assessment of the behavioural changes needed to realise reductions ... -
Impact of Nitrogen Dioxide on Health with Particular Emphasis on Vulnerable Groups
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2023)Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a highly reactive gas and is primarily produced by the burning of fuel. It forms from emissions from cars, trucks and buses and power plants. Exposure to NO2 has been associated with adverse ... -
Integrated transportation and land use regression modelling for nitrogen dioxide mitigation
(2023)The transport sector has been identified as one of the main contributors to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution in Ireland. This research develops an enhanced Wind Sector Land Use Regression (WS-LUR) model to estimate NO2 ... -
Local NO2 concentrations and asthma among over-50s in Ireland: A microdata analysis
(2021)Background: Links between air pollution and asthma are less well established for older adults than some younger groups. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations are widely used as an indicator of transport-related air pollution, ... -
Measuring the potential emission reductions from a shift towards public transport
(2019)The research presented in this paper investigates the behavioural response and subsequent appraisal of a range of policy incentives devised to encourage greater use of sustainable travel options within the Greater Dublin ... -
Modelling the potential benefits increased active travel
(2019)This research examines the behavioural response of commuters within the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), Ireland, to a range of policy incentives designed to encourage travellers to make greater use of sustainable travel modes ... -
Physical properties and reactivity of pozzolans, and their influence on the properties of lime-pozzolan pastes
(2011)This paper studies how pozzolan properties including particle size, specific surface, chemical and mineral composition, amorphousness and water demand, affect their reactivity as well as the strength of lime?pozzolan pastes. ...
