Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this handbook on a growing public menace, Clifford R. Bragdon applies acoustical engineering and social science to the least understood—yet one of the most serious—environmental hazards of modern society. This book is a precision tool; it gives facts and figures, precise scientific measurements, and accurate data on what noise is, what it does, and how to combat it. The author pinpoints the noise levels—many of them illegal—of automobiles, buses, subways, airplanes, household appliances, and children's toys in numerous charts and tables and relates these data to the measurable social, physical, and psychological damage they do to human beings. He catalogues the "noise-free" claims of manufacturers of these products in an Appendix that speaks for itself. A thorough case study of an area near Philadelphia International Airport and other townships, including five hundred households, the author evaluates existing noise abatement programs on local, state, and federal levels, and finds most of them seriously inadequate. As steps toward the solution to the noise crisis, he proposes a system for rating environmental health, new approaches to community noise management, and a variety of architectural suggestions. The bibliography—probably the most complete and up-to-date source collection on the subject ever assembled—is an invaluable reference work in itself. It lists over five hundred sources, arranged in six major categories: Noise, General; Physical Effects; Psycho-Social Effects; Law; Noise Abatement; and Noise Sources. Noise Pollution is indispensable not only for the concerned citizen but for all those who can, and must, take immediate and effective action in our unquiet crisis: urban planners, architects, hospital administrators, public health officials, transportation executives, lawyers, realtors, sound engineers, manufacturers of transportation equipment and household appliances, and community leaders. It is a vital resource in dealing with the noise crisis that is destroying pleasure, lowering work performance, eroding health, causing physical injury, and even challenging basic human survival.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluations of the effectiveness of transportation noise abatement require the use of a measure which relates individual and community reactions to transportation noise. Previous studies were examined to determine how well various measures predicted response to noise. A-weighted Sound Level (in dBA) and Noise Pollution Level (in dBA) were examined to determine their relationships to other measures and their prediction of reaction, i.e., loudness, annoyance, noisiness. The A-weighted sound level, on the average, correlated as well with subjective response as the other measures. Only for jet aircraft pure tones was there a significant predictive performance difference between Effective Perceived Noise Level (EPNL) and dBA, favoring EPNL. Average community response measures were developed for aircraft and motor vehicle noise. Using the aircraft Noise and Number Index and motor vehicle Traffic Noise Index data, the Noise Pollution Level was shown to correlate as well with average community response as both of the measures. Since Noise Pollution Level is compatible with the use of dBA for individual vehicles, its selection as a community measure complements the choice of dBA as a vehicle measure. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation, Energy Use and Environmental Impacts shows researchers, students and professionals the important connection between transportation planning, energy use and emissions. The book examines the major transportation activities, components, systems and subsystems by mode. It closely explores the resulting environmental impacts from transport planning, construction and the decommissioning of transportation systems. It discusses transportation planning procedures from an energy use standpoint, offering guidelines to make transportation more energy consumption efficient. Other sections cover propulsion and energy use systems, focusing on road transportation, railway, waterway, pipeline, air, air pollutants, greenhouse gas emissions, and more. Shows the relationship between road, rail, maritime, air and pipeline transportation activities with fuel use and pollution, greenhouse gases and waste Provides a comprehensive approach, covering transportation system planning, design and infrastructure construction Synthesizes the needed information and data, explaining how to improve transportation system performance Includes learning aids, such as cases from around the globe, a glossary, extensive bibliography, chapter objectives, summaries and exercises
