CASE STUDY
How STRIAD:AIR is helping Meath County Council make the case for net zero
What is STRIAD:AIR?
STRIAD:AIR provides hyperlocal modelling of air pollution and its direct impact on health, turning data into real change.
Air quality projects without STRIAD:AIR
Air quality projects with STRIAD:AIR
- Vocal opposition to necessary initiatives, including low traffic neighbourhoods, school streets and low emissions zones
- Controversial community consultation exercises where the case for change is unclear
- Targets for air quality and net zero are missed because the political cost is just too high
Air quality projects with STRIAD:AIR
- Intervention proposals backed with easy-to-understand science about the health effects of air pollution
- Strong community engagement, demonstrating the need for change with high-quality evidence
- Higher rates of acceptability and compliance with new measures, supporting efforts to reach net zero

Meath Environmental Platform
Meath County Council’s Environmental Platform came online in January 2024, and is now a public resource for Trim residents, the County and wider stakeholder groups to get the latest updates on local air quality levels and their impact on public health.
The Trim Air Quality Project has allowed us to see the invisible. We can inform local stakeholders of improvements in air quality, showing positive change, encouraging further action, and achieving a positive feedback loop.
