Covid's Noise Fallout
In Europe
This project aims to reveal the significance of noise pollution and its associated health risks through data visualization, while highlighting issues of data inequality across social classes. It focuses on covering all populations, especially vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, using publicly available data from the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to create a platform for public education and advocacy.
To address gaps in traditional data collection, the website integrates official datasets with citizen-reported noise data (European Environment Agency, 2021), encouraging public participation to enhance data completeness.
Core Features:
- Noise Hotspot Map: Interactive map allowing users to view noise data across different regions.
- Health Impact Information Section: Science communication based on WHO research on noise and health.
- Data Visualization Charts: Visual trends and distribution of noise pollution and health impacts.
针对不同类型的噪声，我们可以采取不同的防护措施来保护听力健康：
在高噪声环境中，建议使用专业的隔音耳罩或耳塞；在日常生活中，可以通过控制音量、增加隔音材料等方式减少噪声污染。
