Bill > HB05108

This bill aims to amend the general statutes to establish standards for industrial low-frequency noise pollution in the state. Low-frequency noise pollution refers to sound waves with low pitch and long wavelengths typically generated by industrial equipment like turbines, compressors, and heavy machinery. The bill seeks to protect citizens from potential health effects associated with prolonged exposure to such noise, which can include issues like sleep disturbance, stress, and potential physiological impacts. By creating regulatory standards, the legislation intends to provide a framework for monitoring and controlling industrial noise levels, ensuring that industrial operations maintain sound emissions within acceptable limits that do not pose undue risk to nearby residents. The bill empowers state authorities to enforce these new noise pollution standards, though the specific enforcement mechanisms and detailed technical standards are not elaborated in this initial legislative text.
