This lecture covers environmental legislation, focusing on pollution control, noise regulations, and the impact of construction on the environment. Specific topics include levels of protection, preventive measures, complementary actions, and the evaluation of noise exposure. The lecture also discusses the legal framework for noise reduction from railways and the limitations on emissions from fixed installations. Additionally, it explores the assessment of noise exposure in different areas, the concept of noise sensitivity degrees, and the establishment of noise exposure limits for various noisy installations. The lecture concludes with a discussion on the legal requirements for building zones and the potential revisions to existing laws.
