PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
Noise pollution presents a significant environmental and climate challenge, with far-reaching impacts on public health and overall quality of life. In urban areas, this problem is particularly acute due to the simultaneous presence of multiple noise sources, including road traffic and railway activities, and dense populat
In the project area, located in a densely populated area of Muratella, near to Fiumicino Airport (Italy), noise pollution – which is a serious concern, affecting in particular a nearby hospital - primarily stems from road traffic and railway operations which result in elevated noise levels that consistently exceed the recommended limits prescribed by the World Health Organization (WHO), with noise levels exceeding 55 decibels (dB(A)) during daytime hours.
Traditional noise barriers, while effective in some situations, have limitations in densely populated areas. Their installation can be visually intrusive, impacting the landscape and local air circulation, potentially leading to adverse environmental effects, including increased temperatures. Moreover, noise barriers may not always provide the desired noise reduction levels, especially when receivers are in close proximity to the noise source.
