Noise pollution maps in the perimeter of Galati main ports

Abstract

Noise mapping is one of the modern methods of evaluation of urban acoustic pollution due to the presence of road traffic, rail traffic (train or tram), industrial noise and air traffic. A noise map is the map of an urban agglomeration or geographical area, coloured according to the noise level. Following the noise mapping, conflict maps are developed to set the noise levels for each noise source. Strategic noise maps are compiled taking into account the provisions of the Order of the Minister of the Environment no. 1830/2007 that
sets the guide on the development, analysis and evaluation of strategic noise maps. On the basis of the noise maps results, the strategy for human personnel protection in the areas where the maximum admissible limits are exceeded is established and a series of measures are implemented.
