We’ve recently been informed that the London Underground (the Tube) is 30times more polluted than the streets above.
Now we are told (by the BBC) that the noise levels onLondon’s Underground are way above acceptable levels and passengers are being advised to wear ear protectors, to stop their hearing being damaged
They found noise levels on some Tube routes are exceeding 100 decibels - which the audiologists say is harmful to commuters' hearing.
This below from the BBC News Website:
A group of campaigners set themselves a task of measuring how noisy each journey was on the London Underground.
They found noise levels on some Tube routes reached 100 decibels - which the audiologists say is harmful to commuters' hearing.
Transport for London (TfL) is being encouraged to put up warning signs in parts of the Underground network where noise levels are high.
However, TfL say their Health and Safety Executive guidance ‘suggests’ Tube noise is highly unlikely to cause long-term hearing damage.
TAXI LEAKS EXTRA BIT
Len Martin Of The UCG said on Twitter:
So, the particulate level is 30x that at road level and the sound pressure level is 100db (concorde was 110db)
Are the @H_S_E are interested?
Well, according to their statement to the BBC... TfLs Health and Safety Executive are clearly not interested !
Perhaps they only become interested when it’s Black Cabs in the dock as TfL London Buses an Tubes appears to have a get out of jail free card under Mike Brown and Sadiq Khan.
