    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] In recent years, China has been advancing the management and protection of the ecological environment.
    The environmental protection battle against air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution has achieved fruitful results, and the quality of the urban environment has also been significantly improved
    .
    When we focus on the natural environment such as the atmosphere and water bodies, we often ignore that the noise that affects normal life around us is also a kind of environmental pollution
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    Noise sources are ubiquitous in cities.
    Vehicles, engineering construction, industrial production and even social life on traffic roads may generate noise
    .
    Studies have shown that urban noise pollution has become the third largest urban nuisance after air pollution and water pollution
    .
    However, people's vigilance against noise pollution is far from enough
    .
    When you are in a noisy environment, you may only feel that your daily life is affected, but you do not know that long-term exposure to noise will cause many harms to the human body, including not only affecting hearing and disturbing sleep, but also may induce deafness, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease And other diseases
    .

     

    China is a country with relatively serious noise pollution, and about two-thirds of urban residents are affected by excessive noise
    .
    However, China has long taken action to prevent and control noise pollution
    .
    As early as March 1, 1997, China implemented the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution.
    " The prevention and control of noise pollution was established in the form of legislation to protect people's health and protect and improve the living environment
    .
    On December 29, 2018, this law was revised, but it still couldn't meet the current needs for noise prevention and control
    .

     

      With the significant increase in the proportion of noise pollution-related complaints in environmental pollution, the problem of noise nuisance has repeatedly appeared throughout the country, and some noise nuisance problems have not been effectively solved for a long time.
    The Law of the People’s Republic of China has undergone adaptive revisions, and the “Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution (Draft)” has been completed and is open for comments
    .
    The deadline for comments is September 18, 2021
    .

     

      It is understood that the revised Noise Prevention and Control Law has increased noise pollution prevention and control targets, filled a part of the previous gaps in noise supervision, expanded the scope of application of the law, strengthened prevention and control at the source, improved relevant standards, and further clarified the division of responsibilities of relevant departments.

    .
    With the strengthening of noise supervision, the noise monitoring system also needs to be further developed to meet new demands
    .

     

      At present, the main basis for noise monitoring is the national standard GB 3096-2008 "Acoustic Environmental Quality Standard", which not only specifies the environmental noise limit, but also clarifies the environmental noise monitoring requirements
    .
    It is pointed out that the integrated average sound level meter or the automatic environmental noise monitoring instrument with measuring instrument accuracy of type 2 and above must meet the requirements of GB3785 and GB/T17181, and be checked regularly
    .

     
    Monitoring instrument
      The "Acoustic Environmental Quality Standard" has been implemented for more than ten years.
    People's definition of noise is improving, and noise monitoring technology is also improving
    .
    For example, urban environmental protection departments often use noise map technology and urban noise identification feature technology in noise monitoring
    .
    In addition to environmental acoustics and measuring instruments , it also combines technologies such as geographic information systems, computers and the Internet to create an interdisciplinary noise monitoring platform
    .
    With the introduction of new noise pollution prevention and control laws, noise monitoring standards also need to be further revised
    .

     
    Instrumentation
      At the same time, noise monitoring technology also needs to continue to develop
    .
    Unlike the monitoring of air, water, and soil pollution, noise pollution requires the integration of interdisciplinary technologies.
    There is not much room for development in monitoring equipment, but a deeper integration is carried out at the level of data, models, algorithms, and technologies.
    Improve the technical level of environmental noise management
    .

     

      Noise pollution has increasingly become an environmental problem that cannot be ignored.
    Amending the Noise Prevention and Control Law can fundamentally solve a series of problems in the law enforcement of noise prevention and control, and at the same time provide guidance for noise prevention and control work
    .
    With the improvement of the law and the strengthening of noise supervision, noise monitoring will also achieve better development and become a more important part of the environmental protection industry
    .
