The individual monitoring points were first included on static maps from 2008 to 2012. The monitoring points have been set up in accordance with Air Quality Regulations 2011 (SI 180 of 2011) and Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury, Nickel and Polycylic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Ambient Air Regulations (SI 58 of 2009). Spatial Accuracy: sampling point coordinates are taken from Ordnance Survey Ireland maps
