WHO Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region

In recent years, strong evidence has emerged that noise is one of the top environmental hazards to both physical and mental health and well-being in the European Region. Important sources of harmful noise exposure are: road traffic, railways, aircrafts, wind turbines and leisure noise (such as noise emitted from personal listening devices). The World Health Orgenazation released today new recommendations regarding noise exposure in Europe from these sources. The guidelines are available in this link.
