Noise Control Act of 1972  

Definición

  • Regulation of pollution in the United States hit its highest achievement at the end of the 1960s with the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). One of the major tasks faced by the recently created EPA was working on the abatement of aviation noise, a serious public issue in the 1960s due to the introduction of jet turbofan engines in commercial aviation.
