About the Presentation:
Environmental noise is rarely treated as critically as are the sorts of emissions that we traditionally think of as air pollutants, generally due to a lack of consensus on a direct causal link between noise and human health effects. A growing body of research and experiential evidence shows that environmental noise from industry greater than about 45 to 55 dBA can lead to very real and non-negligible costs and should be treated as critically and proactively as any other air pollutant, rather than as a simple nuisance. This presentation will include case studies from Ian’s more than 20 years of experience in the field.
