AN ANALYSIS OF NOISE POLLUTANTS IN CITY SUBWAY TRANSPORTATION
Original language description
Noise in general, is any unwanted sound in any mode of transportation, and exposure to it can be a serious threat to health. Subways are among those considered as sources of urban noise, which adversely affect health. This paper, presents the results of survey conducted on noise levels of Prague City subways transport system. Over 240 noise measurements were made. Noise levels were measured using a sound level meter on both subway lines, Line A (green) and line B (yellow) lines for comparison. On both lines the return measurements were conducted namely in the first, third and fifth compartments. The maximum average noise level measured on the line A (green) subway in all three compartments was 94,1 dBA (decibel-A weighting) and 96 dBA in Line B (yellow) respectively. These results indicate that the maximum noise levels in subway cars have exceeded recommended exposure guidelines from the World Health Organization
