The DAA's sustainability slide on local environments refers to placing a “strong focus on air quality, water, noise, biodiversity and local communities”. What is the DAA doing in respect of the air quality aspect? I have been working with residents of housing estates in the southern end of Swords, for example, who have experienced increased levels of odour and particulate matter on their windows from aviation fumes, given there is more activity on that side of the airport. What focus does the DAA have on air quality and what practical measures is it looking at developing in that regard?
