Health map GES Noise national roads Lden 2013

This file contains data on exposure to road traffic noise due to the highways in North Brabant. and its translation into health risks, so-called GES scores. Calculated noise contours Lden have been translated into GES scores in accordance with the 2012 City & Environment Health Impact Screening Handbook: 55-60 dB = GES 4 (moderate); 60-65 dB = GES 5 (very moderate); 65-70 dB = GES 6 (insufficient); 70-75 dB = GES 7 (more than insufficient); >= 75 dB = GES 8 (very unsatisfactory). The Health Effect Screening (GES) method gives a score (from 0 to 8) to the environmental health quality. Shown on the map from green (GES score 0, very good) through yellow, orange and red (GES score 6, unsatisfactory) to purple (GES score 8, very unsatisfactory). These scores are based on knowledge about the relationship between exposure and health risks. The noise contours reflect the situation for the reference year 2011. The noise load has been calculated for the entire national road network. The combined noise impact with provincial or municipal roads or rail traffic, air traffic and/or companies has not been determined. In reality, when multiple noise sources are combined, the noise impact and thus the health effect can be higher.
