zajdirektívája

Zajdirektívája refers to a European Union directive concerning noise pollution. Its official title is Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise. The primary goal of the directive is to establish a common approach across the EU to prevent and reduce the level of noise emitted from sources such as road traffic, rail traffic, aircraft, and industrial activities.

The directive mandates that member states conduct noise mapping for major sources of noise and for agglomerations. These noise maps are intended to assess the noise situation and its effects. Based on this information, member states are required to develop action plans to manage and reduce noise where necessary. These action plans should consider, among other things, the reduction of noise emitted by traffic infrastructure, the use of noise reduction technologies, and land-use planning.

Zajdirektívája does not set specific noise limit values for noise sources or levels of exposure. Instead, it focuses on the process of assessment and management, allowing member states some flexibility in implementing measures tailored to their specific circumstances. The directive also aims to provide the public with access to information about noise pollution and the measures being taken to address it. Its implementation has led to a more harmonized approach to noise control across the European Union.
