Abstract

This paper discusses a specific source of noise, which is generated by household waste collection trucks. Two areas in the city of Curitiba were chosen for evaluation, one of them a densely populated residential neighborhood and the other in downtown Curitiba. A noise map was created for each area. The evaluation, which was carried out in the daytime in the residential area and at night in the downtown area, revealed noise levels exceeding the limits established by Curitiba Municipal Law No. 10625. The regular use of utility vehicles that generate high noise levels, such as garbage trucks, during nighttime hours in residential areas is thus not sustainable from the standpoint of noise protection laws. Nighttime hours in Curitiba are 10[Formula: see text]pm to 7[Formula: see text]am, but nighttime garbage collection begins at 7[Formula: see text]pm and goes on until 4[Formula: see text]am. Therefore, changes in this schedule are advisable, given the noise impact caused by garbage collection trucks.

生活垃圾收集车环境噪声评价

本文讨论了生活垃圾收集车产生的特定噪声源。选择了库里蒂巴市的两个地区进行评估，其中一个是人口稠密的住宅区，另一个位于库里蒂ba市中心。为每个区域创建了噪波贴图。白天在住宅区和晚上在市中心进行的评估显示，噪音水平超过了库里蒂巴市第10625号法律规定的限值。因此，从噪音保护法的角度来看，在居民区夜间经常使用产生高噪音的多用途车，如垃圾车，是不可持续的。库里蒂巴的夜间时间是晚上10点[公式：见正文]到早上7点[公式，见正文]，但夜间垃圾收集从晚上7点开始，一直持续到凌晨4点[公式。因此，考虑到垃圾收集车造成的噪音影响，建议更改此时间表。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed, international journal covering policy and decision-making relating to environmental assessment (EA) in the broadest sense. Uniquely, its specific aim is to explore the horizontal interactions between assessment and aspects of environmental management (not just the vertical interactions within the broad field of impact assessment) and thereby to identify comprehensive approaches to environmental improvement involving both qualitative and quantitative information. As the concepts associated with sustainable development mature, links between environmental assessment and management systems become all the more essential.
