Stringent public health standards are hallmarks of an administration that protects its citizens from unnecessary risks. Environmental pollution is a major risk that is threatening the prosperity of many countries, including those that are performing well economically.
Environmental health pollution relates to the excessive noise caused by road and airport traffic as well as by industry, construction and other outdoor activities. Malta’s concentration of built-up areas with extensive ownership of cars, high tourist numbers and innumerable construction projects makes it particularly difficult for people to cope with the high levels of noise, especially in our urban environment.
