Abstract

Rail transport is a source of noise that has disturbing effects on the environment. Adverse noise emissions must be observed and at the same time keep the permissible noise levels that depend on the type of protected area given by the Slovak legislation. The paper deals with compliance and analysis of these permitted noise values in some selected locations of the railway line in the Kysuce region.

Highlights

Noise emissions represent a significant environmental burden on the environment
4 Conclusions In Tab. 3 all the measurement points are evaluated from the point of view of the territory category, it means the distance from the noise source and their compliance with the permissible values
The measurements were done before the modernization of the railway line

Summary

Introduction

Noise emissions represent a significant environmental burden on the environment. The largest polluters include transport. In 2007, Regulation 549/2007 of the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic, in which the permissible values of noise LAeq,p for rail transport compared to the values defined in Government Regulation 339/2006 have not changed. This decree is still valid and in full wording the permissible limits are given in Tab. 1. Space in front of windows protected rooms of school buildings, health care facilities day evening night. Territory without housing function and without protected outdoor space, production zones, industrial parks, resorts plants day evening night. (b) Land transport is the transport of roads, including tramway. (c) Stops for local public transport, bus, rail, waterway and taxi stations for the entry and exit of persons are assessed as part of the land and waterways. d) The permissible values in front of the non-residential facade are applied at the time of their use, for example schools during classes, etc
