The interoperable INSPIRE download service (WFS) Health and Safety provides an overview of the isophonic maps of road traffic noise in Brandenburg according to 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). All municipalities in the state of Brandenburg with roads > 3 million vehicles/year were examined. As required in Section 2 of the 34th BImSchV, this includes the two noise indices LDEN and LNight. According to the INSPIRE data specification Human Health And Safety(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).
