\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnvironmental Noise Pollution\u003c/i\u003e, \u003cb\u003eSecond Edition,\u003c/b\u003e addresses the key debates surrounding environmental noise pollution, its modelling and mitigation using examples from across the globe. Environmental noise pollution is now an established concern in environmental and public policy and is considered one of the most important environmental stressors affecting public health throughout the world. Thoroughly revised, this new edition includes updated global case studies as well as new chapters on âsoundscapes and noise mappingâ and âenvironmental noise and technologyâ.This book examines environmental noise pollution, its health implications, noise modelling, the role of strategic noise mapping for problem assessment, major sources of environmental noise pollution, noise mitigation approaches, and related procedural and policy implications. Drawing on the authorsâ considerable research expertise in the area, the book is a fully updated resource on this major environmental stressor that crosses disciplinary, policy and national boundaries.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighlights recent developments in the policy arena, with a particular focus on global developments in environmental noise management and mitigation\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the lessons emerging from nations within the EU and other jurisdictions attempting to legislate and mitigate against the harmful effects of noise pollution\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the core theoretical concepts and principles surrounding the mechanics of noise pollution as well as evidence linking noise with public health concerns\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThoroughly revised throughout, with more global examples and two new chapters on technology and noise and soundscapes\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
