The Ministry of Environmental Protection launched a national information campaign today (Wednesday) as part of the 'Quiet Cities' program, which aims to reduce noise pollution from vehicles and improve the quality of life and environmental health of residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The campaign was produced through the Government Advertising Bureau and is presented to the general public, to Haredi society, to Arab society, as well as in Russian and Amharic on television, radio, digitally, and on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the campaign, the Ministry of Environmental Protection seeks to raise public awareness of the dangers of noise and the personal responsibility of each of us. The main message of the campaign is to inform the public that noise hazards from vehicles will be enforced by technological means of cameras and noise detectors that will be placed in a variety of authorities. This is in order to reduce noise from vehicles and keep public spaces quiet and pleasant for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polluting and noisy vehicles directly harm the quality of life and public health. Studies indicate that exposure to noise causes physical and mental damage, including hearing damage, increased morbidity, psychological effects, and decreased cognitive function and work productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Environmental noise is currently considered one of the main environmental risks to public health and is a growing source of concern among residents and policymakers. Every year, government ministries, local authorities and the police receive many inquiries about noise hazards from transportation, with the handling and enforcement on the ground being carried out by the local authorities and the police, with professional and regulatory support from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The campaign is part of a broader policy of the Ministry of Environmental Protection that promotes the "Quiet Cities" program. As part of the program, the ministry provides support to local authorities, among other things, for the installation of dedicated enforcement systems for vehicle noise that is not created to warn of imminent danger that cannot be prevented otherwise or as part of the proper operation of the vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ministry also supports local authorities with millions of shekels in strengthening enforcement capabilities, public awareness, and developing tools for dealing with noise hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ministry calls on additional authorities to take part and join Israel's quiet revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Idit Silman, Minister of Environmental Protection: "Noise is a hazard to everything, even if you don't always see it. The "Quiet Cities" program combines enforcement of technological tools such as cameras and noise detectors, as well as information for residents, with the aim of creating behavioral change and reducing exposure to noise from vehicles. The current campaign is designed to strengthen the public understanding that noise reduction depends on both the personal responsibility of drivers and systemic action by the authorities, with professional guidance from the ministry. The program, in cooperation with local authorities, is the key to creating a quieter, healthier, and more pleasant space for all residents."\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u05d4\u05de\u05e9\u05e8\u05d3 \u05dc\u05d4\u05d2\u05e0\u05ea \u05d4\u05e1\u05d1\u05d9\u05d1\u05d4 \u05d4\u05e9\u05d9\u05e7 \u05d4\u05d9\u05d5\u05dd (\u05e8\u05d1\u05d9\u05e2\u05d9) \u05e7\u05de\u05e4\u05d9\u05d9\u05df \u05d4\u05e1\u05d1\u05e8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05e8\u05e6\u05d9 \u05d1\u05de\u05e1\u05d2\u05e8\u05ea \u05ea\u05d5\u05db\u05e0\u05d9\u05ea '\u05e2\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05e7\u05d8\u05d5\u05ea', \u05e9\u05de\u05d8\u05e8\u05ea\u05d5 \u05dc\u05d4\u05e4\u05d7\u05d9\u05ea \u05d0\u05ea \u05de\u05e4\u05d2\u05e2\u05d9 \u05d4\u05e8\u05e2\u05e9 \u05de\u05db\u05dc\u05d9 \u05e8\u05db\u05d1 \u05d5\u05dc\u05e9\u05e4\u05e8 \u05d0\u05ea \u05d0\u05d9\u05db\u05d5\u05ea \u05d4\u05d7\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05d0\u05d5\u05ea \u05d4\u05e1\u05d1\u05d9\u05d1\u05d4 \u05e9\u05dc \u05d4\u05ea\u05d5\u05e9\u05d1\u05d9\u05dd. \u05d4\u05e7\u05de\u05e4\u05d9\u05d9\u05df \u05d4\u05d5\u05e4\u05e7 \u05d1\u05d0\u05de\u05e6\u05e2\u05d5\u05ea \u05dc\u05e9\u05db\u05ea \u05d4\u05e4\u05e8\u05e1\u05d5\u05dd \u05d4\u05de\u05de\u05e9\u05dc\u05ea\u05d9\u05ea \u05d5\u05de\u05d5\u05e6\u05d2 \u05dc\u05e6\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8 \u05d4\u05e8\u05d7\u05d1, \u05dc\u05d7\u05d1\u05e8\u05d4 \u05d4\u05d7\u05e8\u05d3\u05d9\u05ea, \u05dc\u05d7\u05d1\u05e8\u05d4 \u05d4\u05e2\u05e8\u05d1\u05d9\u05ea \u05d5\u05db\u05df \u05d1\u05e9\u05e4\u05d5\u05ea \u05d4\u05e8\u05d5\u05e1\u05d9\u05ea \u05d5\u05d4\u05d0\u05de\u05d4\u05e8\u05d9\u05ea \u05d1\u05d8\u05dc\u05d5\u05d5\u05d9\u05d6\u05d9\u05d4, \u05d1\u05e8\u05d3\u05d9\u05d5, \u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05d2\u05d9\u05d8\u05dc \u05d5\u05d1\u05e8\u05e9\u05ea\u05d5\u05ea \u05d4\u05d7\u05d1\u05e8\u05ea\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea. \u05d1\u05de\u05e1\u05d2\u05e8\u05ea \u05d4\u05e7\u05de\u05e4\u05d9\u05d9\u05df \u05d4\u05de\u05e9\u05e8\u05d3 \u05dc\u05d4\u05d2\u05e0\u05ea \u05d4\u05e1\u05d1\u05d9\u05d1\u05d4 […]","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":646627,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[10582,63696,50988,63697],"class_list":["post-1034971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-24","tag-10582","tag-63696","tag-50988","tag-63697"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
