“世界卫生组织的《夜噪声指南》（2009年）确认，夜间噪声水平高于55分贝（DB）“对公共卫生的越来越危险”，并引起不利的健康影响。The noise maps for agglomerations and transport infrastructures made available by the Environmental Noise Directive and published on line in EEA’s NOISE database, prove that in this small sample (17% of the population) 32 million people in the EU are exposed to levels over 55 dB at night and roughly an equivalent number to levels between 50 and 54 dB. Cautious extrapolations to the whole of the EU at least doubles this number, arriving at a total of over 100 million exposed to high levels of night noise. This illustrates the worrying extent of public exposure to noise.”

“为了有效地保护健康和福祉，我们认为现在应该已经制定了一个严格的标准步骤，以便在2020年生效。”
