About SAFER-Data

SAFER-Data is a searchable, sortable listing of publicly available resources held in the Secure Archive for Environmental Research Data (SAFER), operated by the Irish Environmental Protection Agency. The table is generated from SAFER's metadata database and shows each resource's code, dates, title, thematic area, availability, keywords, and counts of attachments and PDFs. The page states that it lists 438 publicly available resources. The examples shown include Irish drinking water monitoring results from 2020 to 2025 and archived air quality monitoring data for nitrogen oxides, ozone, PM10, PM2.5, benzene, carbon monoxide, and sulphur dioxide.

Users can search the whole table with a text box, sort any column in ascending or descending order, sort by date, and group resources by thematic area. Download links to attached files are provided where appropriate, and the excerpt shows many resources with no attachments. The source does not state pricing, and the excerpt does not describe any account requirements.
