DUBLIN 1982
• The SMOG event was associated with a cold spell of weather with a temperature inversion
• This event was 30 years after the infamous London 1952 episode.

Conclusions
• Air quality in Dublin is not the problem some commentators would have us believe.
• The cost of the introduction of a smokeless zone policy could involve the expenditure of £180,000,000.
• The scientific evidence about the effects of
smokeless zones on Dublin’s air quality is most uncertain as the basic research has yet to be carried out - no Urban Air Pollution Dispersion Model exists for Dublin.
