The interoperable INSPIRE download service (WFS) Health and Safety provides an overview of the isophone maps in the Potsdam metropolitan area in accordance with Directive 2002/49/EC (Environmental Noise Directive). This requires the EU member states to assess and combat environmental noise. As a result, strategic noise maps had to be drawn up by June 30, 2007 as part of the first stage. These are to be revised and updated every five years. The data in question comprise the 2nd stage of the EU noise mapping (2012). The isophone maps are provided for 1. road traffic noise, 2. industrial and commercial noise and 3. rail traffic noise (tram only). As required by the BImSchV, the two noise indices LDEN and LNight are displayed. According to the INSPIRE data specification Human Health (D2.8.III.5_v3.0), the contents of the map are INSPIRE-compliant. The WFS includes the FeatureType 'Environmental Health Determinant Measures' (hh:EnvHealthDeterminantMeasure) with information about the type of environmental health factor (EnvHealthDeterminantTypeValue).
