The Consumer
Protection Division in Santa Clara County environmental health services covers
food, water, indoor air quality, noise, septic system, animal complains, tobacco
and smoking, and even nail salons. The major environmental services are the
Hazardous Material Compliance Division, Solid Waste Program, and Vector Control
District.
I am surprised that
noise pollution is in the county’s environmental agenda. To be honest I don’t know
they are protecting its residence from noise pollutions. They could be very
subtle such as quiet times after 10pm in apartment complexes and sound blocking
walls along roads and highways. It is assuring that the Santa Clara County has
Medical Waste Management. This includes incinerating infectious waste and sharp
products.
I also find noise pollution to be interesting. I think those are policies we would not often think about but I am sure we appreciate them when we are sleeping or resting in our homes!
ReplyDeleteHey Irma,
ReplyDeleteYes, very surprised with the noise pollution. In some cases noise is something that you can't help. However, the examples for quiet times after 10:00PM i a great example.
