Acoustic Study of Noise Generated by Arzew's Industrial Units in Limited Batteries

Abstract

This study carried out concerns noise pollution from the Arzew industrial zone. Currently, noise is an integral part of our environment and represents a major current issue, due to its dangerous health effect. Due to the proximity between industrial sites and residential areas, which very often generates noise-related conflicts that require the intervention of an acoustic expert to resolve and protect the neighbourhood from noise exposure from the complexes in the Arzew industrial zone. We have dedicated our work to the assessment of noise emissions generated by several oil and gas plants located in the ARZEW industrial zone and to the verification of the application of laws relating to the limitation of noise levels emitted into the environment by the various facilities. We focused our study on noise measurements in the periphery of the plants, known as the "property limit", also known as the "battery limit".
