Environmental noise, sleep and health
Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2007Unlike other physical ambient factors (i.e. electromagnetic fields or air pollutants), noise is perceived by a specific system (auditory system) in humans. It is therefore a phenomenon that is sensed and evaluated by everybody, and this is why exposure to noise is one of the most, if not the most, frequent complaints of populations living in large ...

Environmental issues: signals in the noise?
Progress in Human Geography, 2004It is a peculiar fact that while the natural environment is one of geography's key research and teaching foci, it is difficult to specify what the discipline's distinctive contributions to environmental understanding are. In part, this is because geographical research on the environment remains theoretically and empirically diverse, indeed fragmented ...

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974
An environmental noise monitor has been designed, constructed, and tested for the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. The system includes a Brüel & Kjaer 4921 outdoor microphone system, a Wang 600-14 computing calculator as the digital controller and statistical analyzer, and a Nagra SJ tape recorder for analog recording.

Semiotica, 1996
Le developpement de la technologie, de l'urbanisation et l'augmentation du traffic routier et aerien ont amene une situation ou le bruit est devenu un polluant de l'environnement affectant la majorite de la population. Bien que les gouvernements aient adopte des directives politiques au niveau national et international, il n'a ete reellement realise ...

Environmental Noise Management
1975The management of environmental quality has typically included only the control of mass residuals and their effect on the quality of air, land and water resources. With the increased production and use of energy, residuals such as heat and noise are also becoming significant causes of pollution. This paper discusses a quantitative modeling approach for

In order to evaluate the need for noise measures as well as the improvement that can be obtained with different measures, there is a need for a system that rates environmental noise on the basis of noise maps. Based on empirical exposure-response relationships, a rating system and a stepwise procedure for its implementation have been developed.

Indicators of Environmental Noise
1972Noise in the environment is not an altogether new area for consideration. As noted above, scriptural references are available that provide insight into the presence of noise as a topic of note several hundred years ago. In addition, great world literature has known occasional references to annoying sound levels such as the invective of the Roman poet ...

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010
Noise generation and perception are highly related to given societies, so in order to improve the acoustic quality of life for communities, it is necessary to include noise items in formal education. The American States Organization is doing research on the relation of science, technology, society, and values to help implement programs to set these ...
