Around 80 per cent of people in the Ile-de-France region are affected by both sound and air pollution levels that exceed World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations, according to joint analysis from the Bruitparif and Airparif organisations. Those living in the heart of Paris are particularly bombarded by noise &#8211; which is the second-largest environmental driver of ill health in Europe, WHO warns.<\/p>\n<p>To tackle the threat, authorities are seeking to reduce noise across the capital by up to four decibels. Officials launched a public consultation last week to figure out how to hush up both transport and other neighbourhood noises. Paris\u2019s efforts to quieten down go hand in hand with the city\u2019s green agenda. In recent months and years, the council has closed some areas (such as the banks of the Seine) to traffic, penalised the most polluting vehicles, and rolled out hundreds of kilometres of new bike lanes.<\/p>\n<p>All this has already helped muffle the roar of traffic somewhat. A first noise reduction plan reportedly achieved a 20 per cent (two decibel) decrease in road noise between 2015 and 2020. More specific measures include the installation of sound radars in certain arrondissements to detect and fine the noisiest vehicles. Noise-reducing asphalt has also been trialled on Rue de Courcelles, to the satisfaction of residents. Under this second noise control plan from 2021 to 2026, the city is targeting a decrease between one and four decibels where possible.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/06\/10\/the-city-that-is-trying-to-sleep-paris-seeks-to-cut-noise-pollution-by-four-decibels\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-529\/\">The city that is trying to sleep: Paris seeks to cut noise pollution by four decibels<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,539,4958],"class_list":["post-131370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-noise","tag-paris"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131370\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
