Interactive maps reveal the worst areas for noise pollution in London, New York, and Paris
As three of the busiest modern cities around the world, it should come as no surprise that London, New York, and Paris are buzzing with traffic noise. Now, interactive maps have been developed by climate charity Possible as part of its Car Free Cities campaign, revealing just how intense this noise can be in parts of the three cities. Unsurprisingly, areas with busy roads and those near airports tend to have the highest levels of noise pollution, while areas with large parks tend to have the lowest levels. For example, in New York, noise pollution levels are highest around John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia airport, and lowest around Central Park. Speaking to MailOnline, Hirra Khan Adeogun, Head of the Car Free Cities campaign, said: 'It's well known how mass private car ownership damages the climate and contributes to toxic air.
