9 wrz 2020 · Because of the rapid increase in technology, industrialization, urbanization and other communication and transport systems, noise pollution has reached to a disturbing level over the years which needs to be studied and controlled to avoid different health effects like high blood pressure, sleeplessness, nausea, heart attack, depression ...
6 paź 2022 · Noise exposure has reached an alarming degree over the years because of rapid growth in the industry, transportation, and urbanization. Therefore, it is a dire need to provide awareness of the sources and mitigation strategies of noise, and to highlight the health, and socio-economic impacts of noise.
23 lis 2020 · Around 100 million people are exposed to road traffic noise above 55 dB in the 33 member countries of the EEA (Figure 1). Of these, 32 million are exposed to very high noise levels (above 65 dB). Railways is the second largest source, with 19 million people exposed above 55 dB.
3 wrz 2018 · This study elicited people’s willingness to pay (WTP) for noise policies, separating traffic noise from residential noise to compare the value of controlling different types of noise. The contingent valuation method was used for the empirical analysis, with data from South Korea.
10 paź 2024 · Noise pollution is a significant environmental impact caused by transport activity. In 2022, exposure to noise from transport sources was estimated to impact the health and well-being of more than 100 million people in Europe. More than 20% of the EU-27 population lives in areas where road noise levels can cause adverse health effects.
The study tries to quantify these negative external effects originating from all types of transportation noise in Berlin, Germany by monetizing them. It uses modelled noise data and estimates the economic burden (external costs) for all residents exposed to noise. This allows two different types of analyses:
26 lis 2019 · Regarding the long-term outlook for exposure to environmental noise in Europe, there are a number of challenges to reducing population exposure to noise pollution. Economic growth and expanding transport networks can lead to increased transport levels that could, in turn, increase noise pollution.
