ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE IN SLOVAKIA
Abstract
Environmental risk factors for environmental problems with physical, chemical and biological factors that cause or may cause health disorders as well as environmental degradation. One possible factor is noise. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that a target of 40% of the EU population is exposed to traffic noise of more than 55 dB and that more than 30% is exposed to levels of more than 55 dB at night. The issue of protection of the health of the population against the adverse effects of noise and vibration in Slovakia is regulated by the Act of the NC SR no. 2/2005 on the Assessment and management of environmental noise, which amends the Act of the NC SR no. 355/2007 on the protection, promotion and development of public health, as amended. The law provides details on strategic noise maps and noise protection action plans. It sets out in detail noise indicators and data, which must include strategic noise maps and action plans. In 2011, strategic noise maps (SNM) for road, air and rail transport were prepared for sections of roads and railways (tracks), including tram lines in the territory of the Bratislava agglomeration and the Kosice agglomeration, on which the traffic intensity was more than 3 mil. vehicles per year on roads and more than 30,000 trainsets per year on rail and tram lines. Strategic maps of the industrial activity of large-scale noise sources in the area were also developed. Strategic noise maps and action plans are updated every 5 years. Based on the elaborated SNM and after the evaluation of conflict plans in the vicinity of 1st class roads, 378 060 residents live, while 152 problem locations were evaluated in these sections. The busiest locality is Zilina and its surroundings. On the sections of motorways, expressways and 1st class roads, 20 problem locations were identified.
