24 lis 2022 · The National Transportation Noise Map provides a basis for understanding what-if scenarios and helping policy makers and planners to prioritize noise-related transportation investments. The data allow viewing the national picture of potential exposure to aviation, highway, and rail noise.
5 gru 2013 · In 1981, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated that nearly 100 million people in the United States (about 50% of the population) had annual exposures to traffic noise that were high enough to be harmful to health (Simpson and Bruce 1981).
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 ...
Our analysis reveals a consistent increasing trend in transportation noise exposure and associated disparities from 2016 through 2020. Notably, on March 13, 2020, the United States officially implemented shelter-in-place orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (The White House, 2022).
1 sty 2024 · In this study, we used a spatially-resolved model of transportation-related noise with established transportation noise exposure-response functions to estimate the population highly annoyed (HA) due to aviation, road, and railway traffic sources in the United States.
1 wrz 2023 · This comprehensive review paper delves into the multifaceted realm of noise pollution, encompassing its diverse causes, far-reaching effects, and the array of strategies deployed to mitigate...
The National Transportation noise map is a great way to explore how noise pollution affects communities nationwide. Created by the U.S Bureau of Transportation Statistics, this mapping project takes data from the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration and uses it to illustrate the different noise levels within ...
