## The legal regulation of noise pollution

In Georgian law noise is not a mere technical parameter but a factor of environmental impact: the law on environmental protection names among the constituent factors of the environment energy, noise and radiation, as well as waste, chemical substances, emissions and other types of pollution that influence or are presumably expected to influence the constituent elements of the environment. Under this definition noise stands legally as an object of environmental protection, and its limit values are determined by the state normative system.

### What is noise in the sense of the law?

A factor of environmental impact: the law names among the factors energy, noise, radiation, waste and emissions that influence the elements of the environment. Noise is therefore an object of environmental protection.

### Where are the permissible noise limits?

In the system of quality norms — the maximum permissible norms for noise, vibration and electromagnetic fields are determined once every 5 years by the corresponding regulation.

### Who controls noise?

State control in the environmental sphere is exercised by the ministry, the department and other authorities; inspection covers planned or unplanned checks and viewings.

### What is the limitation period for damage?

The limitation period for a claim for environmental damage is 10 years from the moment the right arises — when the controlling authority learns of the damage and the liable person.
