Residential traffic noise exposure assessment: application and evaluation of European Environmental Noise Directive maps [PDF]

Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology, 2012
Digital noise maps produced according to the European Environmental Noise Directive (END) could provide valuable exposure information in noise and health research. However, their usefulness in epidemiological studies has not been evaluated. The objective of this study was to apply and evaluate Swedish END maps for assessments of residential traffic ...

Strategic environmental noise mapping: Methodological issues concerning the implementation of the EU Environmental Noise Directive and their policy implications [PDF]

Environment International, 2010
This paper explores methodological issues and policy implications concerning the implementation of the EU Environmental Noise Directive (END) across Member States. Methodologically, the paper focuses on two key thematic issues relevant to the Directive: (1) calculation methods and (2) mapping methods.

Implementation of the EU environmental noise directive: Lessons from the first phase of strategic noise mapping and action planning in Ireland

Journal of Environmental Management, 2011
The first phase of noise mapping and action planning in Ireland, in accordance with EU Directive 2002/49/EC, is now complete. In total this included one agglomeration, one airport and approximately 600 km of major roads outside the agglomeration. These noise maps describe the level of noise exposure of approximately 1.25 million people. The first phase

Sozialräumliche Unterschiede im Engagement älterer Großstadtbewohner gegen Verkehrslärm? Schlussfolgerungen für eine verteilungs- und verfahrensgerechte Lärmaktionsplanung

Raumforschung und Raumordnung, 2023
Exposure to transportation noise is a highly prevalent health burden in urban areas. Social-spatially unequal distributions of transportation noise exposure can contribute to health inequalities (distributional environmental justice).

Strategic directions in implementation of environmental noise directive in international and national legislation [PDF]

Facta universitatis - series: Physics, Chemistry and Technology, 2006
Until 1996, the noise policy in Europe had concentrated on the regulations of noise emission from noise sources as road traffic, aircraft and equipment used outdoors. Although noise limits have become increasingly stringent over the years, no corresponding significant reduction in noise emission has been observed.
