In the period from October 2023 to July 2024, we have developed a programme of environmental protection against noise for the Małopolska Voivodeship, the main objective of which is to reduce the above-normative impact of noise and to maintain favourable acoustic conditions of the environment in areas where sound levels do not exceed permissible levels.
The Programme is the first one prepared in the new formula after the amendment of the Environmental Protection Law in 2019, which uses data of strategic noise maps based on the CNOSSOS-EU calculation methodology and health indicators determining the negative effects of being in noise.
The Programme was adopted by the Sejmik of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship on 1 July, after a strategic environmental impact assessment process for it.
