Understanding Noise Pollution

Noise pollution, also known as environmental noise or sound pollution, refers to harmful or annoying levels of noise caused by human activities. This can include everything from the roar of traffic to the clatter of construction work. According to the World Health Organization, noise pollution is an underestimated threat that can cause hearing loss, cardiovascular issues, cognitive impairment, stress, and sleep disturbance.

A study by the European Environment Agency found that noise pollution causes at least 10,000 cases of premature death in Europe each year. Furthermore, around 20% of Europe’s population, or close to 100 million people, suffer from chronic high-level traffic noise.

The Role of Noise Measurement Equipment

Given the significant impact of noise pollution, it’s essential for businesses and organisations to monitor and manage their noise levels. This is not only important for the health and safety of employees and the public, but it’s also a legal requirement under various regulations and directives.

Accudata Ltd offers a range of noise measurement equipment for hire, including sound level meters, noise dosimeters, and environmental noise monitors. These devices can measure noise levels in various environments, helping businesses to comply with regulations and protect people from harmful noise exposure.
