Recommendation 18
18
Paragraph: 61
There should be a specific noise reduction target for the regulation of noise pollution.
Conclusion
There should be a specific noise reduction target for the regulation of noise pollution. Strict decibel exposure limits are impractical, but a target based on reducing the calculated exposure to, and hence disease burden from, noise pollution would allow cost-effective interventions to be pursued. This target should be in place for the next five-year Environmental Improvement Plan cycle.
