Noise exposure around the Schiphol airport

Scope
Noise exposure gives the number of people exposed to different levels of noise in the vicinity of Schiphol airport

Description

In Lu & Morrell (2006) the level of noise is measured in Kosten unit (KU). 10 KU was used as the background level. Number of residences within the noise contour 20-10 KU is missing from their data (unavailable).

The Lden value is approximately equal to (0.5*Kosten unit+41) (Dassen et al. (2000) in Franssen et al. (2004))

Visser et al (2005) published a noise map (although this is probably not the original place of publication).
