GES map noise - state 2016
Description
Map of the Health Effects Screening score (GES) of environmental noise in Flanders. The indicator is based on the strategic noise maps Lden for the reference year 2016 for major roads, major railways and for Brussels airport, supplemented by the strategic noise maps Lden for agglomeration Antwerp (reference year 2016), Ghent (reference year 2016) and Bruges (reference year 2011) as approved by the Flemish Government in 2018 in implementation of the European Environmental Noise Directive. The existing indicators were converted into nuisance-equivalent Lden values in order to arrive at a cumulative noise map. The map can be used to detect potential problem areas for environmental noise. However, the map is not area-wide since the noise load was only calculated for important traffic infrastructures and the three agglomerations, so there is no data for, for example, local roads or industrial sources outside the agglomerations. As a result, no data is available for many environments, and the noise load at some locations is underestimated. The cumulative nuisance-equivalent Lden values were then divided into classes using the Dutch methodology Health Effect Screening (GES) that provide an insight into potential health effects as a first indication of the local environmental noise in the mapped areas. The GES classes were defined in this way: GES 0 73dB(A) = "very insufficient". Scores from GES 6 can be linked to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases based on evidence from epidemiological research. However, even with lower noise levels, negative effects on health can occur.
