The EPA estimates that air pollution causes around 1,500 early deaths in Ireland every year.
The council say data from the EPA shows a spike in air pollution after 6pm every evening suggests the burning of solid fuels in domestic fires is a key contributor.
The burning of bituminous coal and other smoky solid fuels is considered a major threat to air quality both indoors and outside.
People are being encouraged to buy low smoke products, use dry timer and never burn household waste.
