Whats with the poor air quality in Tullamore (Co. Offaly)? It’s the only place on the island like this.

1. Farts, lots and lots of farts.

2. Methane because its a shithole

3. The bang of Tullamore.

4. Turf

   Tullamore is the remaining holdout of the bord na mona warrior’s

5. Could be traffic getting delayed and idleing because of the roadworks nearby

6. Bogtrotters choking on their precious turf.

7. Too many people going to the bog

8. Wasn’t some lad on here asking if his wife eating 6 eggs a day was normal. Wife might of just doxxed themselves.

9. The herds of  BIFFOs

10. It looks like you had a really sunny day in Tullamore today!

11. For a second I thought we were nuking Tullamore .
    Pity we weren’t.

12. Ah shur it do be an offaly smelly place so it do

13. It’s the amount of shite they’d be talking.

14. It could be down to the presence of sensor equipment? Most air quality around the island isn’t measured at all so most places just look grand.

15. Distillery emissions

16. Biffo fumes

    *It appears we have received unwanted attention about Site X from an anonymous Reddit user by the handle Trident_True. While it would appear that this moniker may be unrelated to the Trident strategy used by our neighbouring country to implement a trifecta of nuclear counter-measures, we must exercise caution.*

    *After all, while the true location of Fionn Mac Cumhiall remains a closely guarded secret, it remains a decidedly more open secret that the incense required to suppress his true form is triggering air quality alerts nationwide.*

    *We have pre-emptively upped Jim Corr’s meds, in the interest of distracting the public with yet another 5g conspiracy theory. Additionally, we have restricted Andrea’s air travel, in the event she may be smuggling Jim’s last remaining brain cell within her violin case.*

    *We trust the above measures are sufficient, but should you require further action be taken, we will notify the high druidic council at once.*

18. It’s gotten quite a bit larger and the quality worse, hard to believe it is true, maybe something wrong with the data source?

19. Isn’t there a major metal and e-waste recycling facility in Tullamore. That may be contributing.

    The air following the roads out of town also makes it seem like a car thing. Maybe a lot of them driving on the auld green diesel.

20. Halitosis?

21. Just looked up the location of the sensor. It appears to be in the park but right beside the entrance and the carpark. Given that it’s located next to a busy road and carpark, I would imagine the reading isn’t particularly accurate.

    Edit: Google also say there can be a 12hour time delay updating the info. The EPA website (where I presume Google is pulling it’s data from) shows a spike this morning about 8 but it falling for the rest of the day.

    So I’m gonna stick with my guess of bad location and traffic.

22. Someone playing Factorio really hard
