Noise Pollution in Malta
Noise pollution is a growing concern in Malta, with increasing urbanization and industrialisation leading to higher levels of noise in many areas. According to the Environment & Resources Authority, environmental noise is defined as "unwanted or harmful outdoor sound created by human activities, including transportation, industrial and construction activities, recreational activities and events". The impact of noise pollution on human health and well-being is significant, and could cause permanent damage. It is therefore essential that in severe cases, steps are taken to mitigate its effects.
WHERE DOES AIS COME IN?
AIS Environment is a leading environmental consultancy firm that offers a wide range of services to clients in Malta and beyond. Among our research & analytics services, we are proud to offer noise pollution studies, a crucial aspect of environmental management in various industries.
Noise pollution is a serious issue that affects communities and industries alike. Excessive noise can cause a range of health problems, including hearing loss, stress, and sleep disturbances. It can also negatively impact wildlife and the environment. As such, it is important for businesses and organizations to monitor and manage their noise emissions to minimize their impact on the surrounding area.
At AIS Environment, we have extensive experience in conducting noise pollution studies for a variety of clients, including industrial facilities, transportation providers, and commercial and residential developments. Our team of highly skilled professionals uses state-of-the-art equipment to measure and analyze noise levels in the surrounding area. We then provide detailed reports and recommendations on how to reduce noise emissions and comply with local regulations.
In Malta, noise pollution is regulated under the Environment Protection Act (Chapter 549) and the Noise Control Regulations (Subsidiary Legislation 549.38). These laws set limits on the amount of noise that can be emitted from various sources, such as vehicles, construction sites, and industrial facilities. In order to comply with these regulations, businesses and organizations must conduct regular noise assessments to ensure that their operations are not causing excessive noise levels in the surrounding area.
Industries that may require noise pollution monitoring services include manufacturing facilities, power plants, construction sites, transportation providers, and entertainment venues such as concert halls and nightclubs. In addition, residential and commercial developments may also require noise pollution studies to ensure that noise from nearby roads or other sources does not impact the health and wellbeing of residents.
