Air pollution in Dublin last weekend was back to levels not seen since before the ban on smoky coal was introduced 30 years ago. 

 

The EPA study found that pollution levels in Rathmines and Ringsend were up to 15 times higher than EU and World Health Organisation guidelines on Saturday night last. 

 

Professor John Wenger from the Centre for research into Atmospheric Chemistry at University College Cork joined Ciara and Shane to discuss.
