We’re back today with another look into if Santa Flights are destroying Lapland. Last time we looked into the reasons why Global Warming was the cause, this time we will look more closely of noise pollution, which the planes generate when flying across this beautiful part of the world.
What Is Noise Pollution?
Noise Pollution is when humans and animals are disrupted and displeased by sounds which are coming from humans, animals or machinery. Most of this comes from machinery though, which includes transport, such as cars, planes and trains. No one likes noise pollution, but most people learn to live with it, because they have to or you would go crazy!
How Noise Pollution Is Affecting Lapland
Noise pollution can affect is many ways, not only does it cause problems for the environment, but it can also cause a lot of health problems. Many people head off to Lapland each year to escape their normal lives, get a bit of peace and quite and relax. However, with so many Santa flights taking place each year, going to a variety of airports, you can’t help but think… How much do we hear of these flights? And what are they doing to this area?
Noise Pollution can cause stress, annoyance and aggression, which is definitely not what you want to feel on holiday. This is because the sounds are unwanted and in most cases disturb you. As well as this it can course hearing problems; however, this is unlikely to occur when on a short holiday. Because of the above3 problems, Santa Holidays can wrecked and not as peaceful as you wanted them to be.
As well as this above, the noise can affect animals in the same way. For them this increases the risk of death as it interferes with the balance of animals in the area. Meaning that a predators prey may decrease, in turn decreasing the amount of that predator there are. As many people visit Lapland for animals, this is also a very bad affect of noise pollution in Lapland.
Is Noise Pollution a big Problem in Lapland?
I don’t think it is a major problem, although I would like to hear from some of you who live full time in Lapland, as this would give us a good indication of whether what I have said above is true to where you live. Whenever I have been to Lapland, noise pollution hasn’t been a major problem. It has only really been noticeable when staying in hotels near the airport, but this is the price you pay when staying so close to an airport. The rest of the time everything was fine. But as I said, please post your opinions below:
