What is your perception of health problems caused by excessive noise in your environment.
The main health effects of noise pollution include hearing loss, increased stress levels and sleep disturbance. Prolonged exposure to loud noise may cause abortion in pregnant women.
Noise pollution is also a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in adult populations. Exposure to environmental noise is associated with a greater risk of preeclampsia.

The World Health Organization published guidelines regarding environmental noise from individual sources.
They also provided recommendations for acceptable noise levels (e.g. below 53 dB for road traffic noise).
Do you believe that noise limitation expressed in dB is an effective measure against the health impacts of noise? Are there any similar guidelines in your region?
