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 includes the 3rd stage of the EU noise mapping (2017). 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). --- The compliant INSPIRE download service (WFS) Human Health And Safety provides an overview of the strategic noise maps in the Potsdam area. According to the Directive 2002/49/EC regarding the assessment and management of environmental noise, it requires the EU member states for the evaluation and abatement of noise. Therefore, strategic noise maps had to be elaborated until June 30th 2007 (1st stage). Every five years these maps have to be reevaluated and updated accordingly. The geodata refers to the third stage of the DIRECTIVE 2002/49/EC (2017). These maps include noise contours for agglomeration roads, industry and railways (tramways only). For each of the two noise indices (LDEN and LNight) is shown. The content of the map is compliant to the INSPIRE data specification for the annex theme Human Health (D2.8.III.5_v3.0). The WFS consists of the FeatureType 'Environmental Health Determinant Measure' (hh:EnvHealthDeterminantMeasure) with details regarding the type of environmental health determinant (EnvHealthDeterminantTypeValue).
