Noise and Vibration Pollution
The Pollution Control Unit works to reduce
levels of excessive levels of domestic and industrial noise. Noise
can be defined as unwanted sound, that is any sound that causes
annoyance or disturbance. Noise is one of the biggest sources of
complaints about environmental pollution and can affect the quality
of life for people in thier homes. Noise pollution can be difficult
to deal with as what is 'noise' is highly subjective and the time
that it occurs may be as important as its loudness.
