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 ... -
A GIS model for personal exposure to PM10 for Dublin commuters
(Trinity College Dublin, 2012)The project has focused on a number of scientific issues in the development of the GIS air quality model for the Dublin Area and its Satellite Towns . Firstly, how to model air quality by integrating existing and ... -
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 ... -
Hydrological and hydrochemical supporting conditions for Irish calcareous fen vegetation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2023)Calcareous fens are listed in Annex 1 of the European Union (EU) Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC, habitat code 7230, 7210 and 7140) as habitats requiring special conservation measures, including the designation ... -
The impact of domestic wastewater treatment system effluent on private water wells: an evaluation of contamination fingerprinting techniques
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2017)The absence of a public water supply network in many rural areas of Ireland means that approximately 162,000 households rely on private wells for their water provision. In many cases such rural areas are also not connected ... -
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 ... -
Incentivising Car-shedding Behaviour in the Greater Dublin Area
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2018)This doctoral research examines the behavioural response of commuters within the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), Ireland, to a range of policy incentives devised to encourage travellers to make greater usage of sustainable ... -
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 ... -
INTEGRATED TRANSPORTATION AND LAND USE REGRESSION MODELLING FOR NO2 MITIGATION
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2022)The transport industry has been identified as one of the main contributors to Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) pollution in Ireland. Diesel fuelled vehicles emit significantly greater amounts of NO2 in comparison to any other fuel ... -
Investigation of Particulate Phosphorus Mobilised by Run-offin Small Agricultural Catchments
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2022)Research carried out in this work has contributed valuable insights and new findings into the impact of particulate phosphorus (PP) associated with fluvial suspended sediments, in terms of its sources and speciation dynamics ... -
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 of vehicular emissions and their potential environmental, health, and economic impacts
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2019)Road traffic is one of the greatest contributors to greenhouse gas and reducing it has become one of the main targets for sustainable transport policies. Analysis of the main factors influencing greenhouse gas emissions ... -
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 ...
