emma.org.au The appeal of zero tailpipe emissions and replacing fossil fuel with electrons has made EV adoption an essential objective for fighting climate change while reducing oil consumption, and pollution. Australia’s EV industry is rising to meet the challenge

Emergency vehicles are mostly held up by traffic congestion.❌ Cycle lanes 🚴‍♂️ enable multiple benefits: Less pollution & noise ✅ Less Carbon & climate change✅ Less congestion✅ Healthier lifestyles✅ Less collision injury ✅

Jeez... First Avenue in #Harlow is so quiet of cars and HGV vehicles. Now that is how the road should be every day @HarlowCouncil and @essexhighways. Last time it was like this was during the pandemic. #busyroad #noisepollution #AirPollution

Reclaiming the centre of Oxford by pedestrianisation and marked cycle tracks would increase footfall; support local businesses; decrease traffic noise and air pollution; be better for tourists and residents; make our City far more child friendly.

The council would see a far greater economic return from encouraging shoppers to a market, with street traders, events, arts etc cities are for people 💙 When these groups naysay everything and any change to car dominance showing their true colours, believe them.

Noise pollution is more than a nuisance. Excessive loud noise can impact the surrounding environment. But what can be done about it? Can new @100tmln cities remove noise? #noisepollution

#NoisePollution is an invisible danger that cannot be seen, but it is present nonetheless. A #cycle occupies much less public space and #Cyclists don't honk, they ring the bell... Soothing to the ears & easy on the air! #CycleToday #CooRides #BikeRide #Travel #EcoFriendly

RT @SimonvBaal: @EliTurnerr @leadingmobility No cars, no pollution, shortcuts for PT and people who choose to cycle. Also a ‘green tramway’ which adds green space, reduces noise and vibration pollution. Hope that helps.

Quietly leaves them in the dust... LOL 🤣 I'm starting to really like electric vehicles, noise pollution is going down and when I'm walking down the street with my kids we don't have to smell the fossil fuel emissions. I like that quite a bit.

Typically Acrylic gives 30plus dB reduction in lab. Different but more real world In situ around 13 dB for SmogStop. Timber 4 to 6 dB plus insitu degrading with drying out and opening up over time. Down to density with some materials but SmogStop has high perfromance.

CO2P 26 is trying to solve the climate problem by not debating the most efficient transport on the planet! Bikes: zero pollution zero CO2 adapt to existing infrastructure (reallocate roads) silent - no noise pollution achievable now (unlike electric cars) #cycling

The correlation between noise and air pollution is not straight forward. It is a little bit my speciality. To really disentangle the traffic related health effects of noise and air pollution, more simultaneous measurements are necessary.

Nice link! The Noise Project defines #noise as #airpollution to make it more tangible to those inclined to dismiss the former, and we’re aware of studies showing that areas with high noise levels tend to suffer other forms of pollution, but we’ve never correlated the two directly
