5. Noise Management
665. Noise ManagementThe goal of Noise Management is to maintain low Noise exposures, such that human health andwell-being are protected. The specific objectives of Noise Management are to develop criteria forthe maximum safe Noise exposure levels, and to promote Noise assessment and control as part ofenvironmental health programmes. This is not always achieved (Jansen 1998). The UnitedNations Agenda 21 (UNCED 1992), as well as the European Charter on Transport, Environmentand Health (London Charter 1999), both support a number of environmental managementprinciples on which government policies, including Noise Management policies, can be include:a. The precautionary principle. In all cases, Noise should be reduced to the lowestlevel achievable in a particular situation. Where there is a reasonable possibility thatpublic health will be damaged, action should be taken to protect public health withoutawaiting full scientific The polluter pays principle.
Limits on the noise emission of vehicles have been introduced in many countries (Sandberg 1995). Such limits, together with the relevant measuring methods, should also be introduced in other regions of the world. Besides these limits a special class of “low-noise trucks” has been introduced in Europe.
