The bulk of the collection consists of EPA reports issued by or for the Office of Noise Abatement and Control (ONAC), and Congressional public hearings on aspects of noise control. The collection also includes various articles, bibliographies, and finding aids on noise pollution. The debate surrounding aircraft and airport noise in the 1970s is well documented in the collection, as if the critical role played by EPA and other offices and agencies, such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in noise control policy development.

About us News Products Applications ... Section Sitemap Environmental Noise Directive Related Links 2238 Mediator 2260 Investigator Product Data: Type 3597 On 21st May, 2002, the Council of Ministers formally approved the EU Environmental Noise Directive. Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25th June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise is now being implemented in the EU Member States. What is it and what does it mean? The Environmental Noise Directive is a direct result of the European Union's Noise Policy Green Paper from 1996. It covers transportation and industrial noise in the environment. The directive requires that noise maps and action plans (noise policy) be made for: Agglomerations with populations greater than 100 000 Major roads with more than 3 000 000 vehicles a year (approximately 8 000 a day) Major railways with more than 30 000 trains a year Major civil airports with more than 50 000 operations year (approximately 135 day) The general public must be informed and consulted during the process, and the European Environment Agency in Copenhagen will collate the result in a central European database. The first maps for major areas are required by mid 2007, and action plans required one year later. These activities are repeated at five yearly intervals and all defined areas are incorporated in the following round of deadlines starting in 2012. The above are minimum requirements and some countries are expected to go further and faster.

How is noise pollution controlled? Noise Noise - Introduction Prescribed Noise and Prohibited Times Related Pages For Students Noise How did you wake up this morning? Everyone has a different tolerance to noise. The means that one person may be disturbed by a relatively low level of traffic noise and someone else may be able to tolerant it at a higher level. Tolerance to noise is influenced by the degree of acclimatisation (how we get used to it), the level and type of intruding noise and the level of the background noise at the time. Particular activities will influence your tolerance. For example, if you wish to sleep or do homework you may be less tolerant to noise than if you were watching television or listening to your own music. What is noise pollution? Noise pollution can disturb our work, concentration, relaxation and sleep. It can cause stress and create or worsen physical problems such as high blood pressure, chronic exhaustion and heart disease. A quieter environment is a restful place that promotes relaxation and a happier and healthier community because neighbourhood noise can cause annoyance by disrupting normal domestic activities such as reading or watching television. EPA Victoria coordinates the control of environmental noise in Victoria along with local councils.
