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
