June 20/Web: Environmental Noise: Public Health Effects and Legal Remedies

Environmental noise can lead to an array of health issues including hearing loss and heart disease. But noise is ubiquitous and comes from a myriad of sources, which limits individuals in their power to lower the levels of dangerous noise at work, school, and on private and public property.
This webinar explores why noise is a public health issue, which legal tools may be best suited to lower noise and minimize risk of harm, and what innovations to reduce the harmful effects of noise are currently underway. Presenters will discuss the noise threshold that is considered dangerous, and who is responsible to ensure safe levels of community noise; how federal, state, and local government can use their authority to protect the public from dangerous levels of noise; and which legal tools have the potential to protect public health and ensure civil liberties, such as free speech, are protected.
