Overview
Clearly integrate specific information and concepts presented in the module lessons to develop your answer vs. doing an internet search. Your answer will be scored on the degree to which you appropriately and directly synthesize and apply specific information and concepts from the lesson material.In developing your answer, keep in mind that this is NOT an essay assignment and that more (words) are not necessarily better! Your answer will be scored on completeness, correctness, clarity, and conciseness, and the degree of synthesis and application of the related information and concepts as presented in the module lesson material, not on how many words it contains.
Question: A regional airport plans to expand to increase flight volume by 50% - adding new runways, a larger terminal, and a new tower. You are an environmental expert who has been asked by the city manager to evaluate the noise pollution impacts to both the residents of a surrounding neighborhood and the wildlife in a nearby wildlife refuge.Using your knowledge of the nature of sound and the impacts of noise pollution, discuss four potential impacts - two human and two environmental - of noise pollution and present a solution for how the city could ask airport developers to mitigate each impact.
