O Hare Noise Pollution: John F. Kennedy International Airport

Noise pollution cannot be fully eliminated but as stated before, it can be reduced to an acceptable level. Effects of noise varies greatly depending on the types of source, location of the recipient and the time of production. Hence, the noise produced by the aviation industry and its related operations are mitigated by different techniques and methods, which are as follows.

“Aircraft Noise is Unhealthy”, (2008) Health Hype.Com. Available from http://www.healthhype.com/aircraft-noise-is-unhealthy.html (cited on 20th, March, 2013)

One petition from 2001 says neighbors felt so strongly that “a noise wall would help our situation” that 14 of 18 petitioners indicated “they would be willing to share in the cost of the abatement.”

Making the use of public transportation easy will make those families use it. It would also be better because maintenance of a car would be more expensive than the usage of public transportation. Public Transportation will not only decrease the number of vehicles, it will decrease the number of automobiles that are old and environmentally unsound. Apart from that,if only the immigrants use the public transportation, that would not be the solution for air pollution since the SUVs and the cars with big engines in the richer part of the city also cause air pollution in city of Los Angeles. As I mentioned before Los Angeles is renowned as the capital of the movie and the show world. Because of its reputation, the city has become a favorite spot among wealthy people and it adds a different aspect to our issue. In the certain parts of the city, luxurious and dashing life style is obtained by families. Most of these families have an individual car for each family member and these cars are mostly either SUVs or cars with high fuel consumptions. Therefore it would be a lot harder to solve this problem because of the fact that people with certain incomes are not likely to use public transportation. Efficiency of the public transportation should be as high as possible so people would actually have to use it. Los Angeles is so spread out that the transportation itself is actually a problem. If the City of Los Angeles

A potential impact on the local natural environment due to the construction of the new school could be the reduction of pollution to the local land.

Over the past couple of years, there has been much debate on whether our city needs a new one terminal airport. The future of Kansas City Airport is an issue that affects everyone in the Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri area. No matter what side of the state line you live on, who you root for (Jayhawks or Tigers), we all share this staple to our community. Unfortunately, this was not considered when the vote came to the public as only residents of Kansas City, Missouri had the ability to vote. No matter who was and wasn't invited to vote, there are many advantages and disadvantages that are shared through us all. Those who supported this project believe that it will bring in more revenue to our city and state. The revenue stems from additional

It would reduce and minimize the affects of traffic congestion. Plus other negative features that arise from having single use development areas. In the downtown area of Flemington it would encourage people to live on the second and third floor of historic building and homes in the area. Having more people in that area would encourage people to walk and create a pedestrian area. The space would be better used and the business would also transform. It would become a 24 location instead of a 10-12 hour location. It would encourage people to dine downtown and create more employment for people in the area (In

This can cause problems when it comes to local events that bring in tourist to attend. By having limited ways for the local community to get around they tend to fill up local parking areas. This prevents tourist from finding parking spots of their own and can limit the amount of people to attend local events. By having other means for the local community to get around can prevent this issues along with reduction of motorized traffic and environmental impacts.

The sidewalks may become more crammed limiting pedestrians on where they could walk. At the same time pedestrians will be safer and possibly be able to travel faster and worry less. The ones using the bike lanes could also benefit, as in they will be able to commute faster and more efficiently from class to class. Although, they could also be faced with the problem of being limited on where they could ride throughout campus. Not only will the students, staff, and faculty here at the university be able to benefit from the proposed solution, but so will the campus as a whole. For example, the campus could become much more safe and efficient, allowing the university to move up in the ranks as a bike friendly

These kind of negative consequences can lead to positive pro-environmental behavior in regards to raising gas prices, building alternate routes around town, keeping sidewalks clean for individuals to walk on, and putting in bike lanes. By raising gas prices individuals do not travel as much so less traffic congestion and pollution, adding alternate routes around the town can help break up the flow of traffic, and adding bicycle lanes, and keeping sidewalks clean will help encourage individuals who live in town to ride bicycles, and walk. Positive consequences of traffic is that it encourages motorist to re-time their road trip to when the traffic is not as congested, and also by reducing speeds can cause less road accidents.

and lead to still greater uses of vehicles. This is tolerable where the population is

And it has to be regulated and prevented that unnecessarily crackers are not burnt especially during night hours.

Aviation contributes approximately 2 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, a figure which is projected to grow through 2050. Although fuel efficiency has improved by nearly 16 percent since the 1990s, future technologies—including better flight patterns, more-efficient engines, and alternative fuels—have promise for further emissions reductions. The profitability challenges of the early twenty-first century, however, affect the industry's ability to invest in new technology. (Hill, 2010 17-22)

* It will increase the recycling rate which leads to cost savings as recycled materials are both cheaper and creates jobs in turn generating revenue and less welfare payments.

Urban noise pollution is causing increased health risks in the population. This is due both to the fact that noise levels, particularly those associated with transport, have increased dramatically since the mid-twentieth century and that a higher percentage of the world population is now concentrated in urban systems. This problem has also increased economic costs due to failing health and reduced productivity of the population, affecting between 0.2% and 2% of gross domestic product in the US. In the European Union, the costs range between $13 billion and $38 billion per year. In addition, traffic noise causes the depreciation of properties exposed to high noise levels.
