Current State-of-the-Art and New Directions in Strategic Environmental Noise Mapping
2020
Murphy, Enda | Faulkner, Jon Paul | Douglas, Owen
Environmental noise mapping has the potential to act as a powerful resource for policymakers as a decision support tool for the mitigation of the negative effects of environmental noise pollution and its impact on public health. The aim of this paper is to review current state-of-the-art developments in how the strategic noise mapping (SNM) process has progressed at the EU level since the introduction of the Environmental Noise Directive (END) in 2002. Reviewing such developments is important because of the relevance of SNM to public health. In this regard, the development of a new standardized noise calculation method (i.e. CNOSSOS-EU) is also considered, as well as the future potential for noise mapping and the impact of technology on the development of noise pollution assessment.
