CHAPTER I GENERAL PROVISIONS

Article 1 This Law is enacted for the purpose of preventing and controlling environmental noise pollution, protecting and improving the living environment, ensuring human health and promoting economic and social development.

Article 2 For purposes of this Law, "environmental noise" means the sound that is emitted in the course of industrial production, construction, transportation and social activities and that impairs the living environment of the neighbourhood. "environmental noise pollution", as used in this Law, means that the environmental noise emitted exceeds the environmental noise emitted limits set by the State on the environmental noise emitted and impairs people's daily life, work and study.

Article 3 This Law shall apply to prevention and control of environmental noise pollution in the territory of the People's Republic of China. This Law shall not apply to prevention and control of noise hazards incurred in the course of production or business operation one is engaged in.

Article 4 The State Council and local people's governments at various levels shall incorporate prevention and control of environmental noise pollution into their environmental protection plans and adopt economic and technological policies and measures to protect the acoustic environment.

Article 5 Local people's governments at various levels shall, when drawing up urban and rural development plans, give full consideration to the impact of noise emitted by construction projects and regional development and renovation projects on the living environment of the neighbourhood, make unified plans and rationally arrange the layout of the function areas and the buildings, in order to prevent or minimize environmental noise pollution.

Article 6 The competent administrative department for environmental protection under the State Council shall exercise unified supervision and administration of the prevention and control of environmental noise pollution throughout the country. The competent administrative departments for environmental protection of the local people's governments at or above the county level shall exercise unified supervision and administration of the prevention and control of environmental noise pollution within their respective administrative regions.

Article 7 All units and individuals shall have the obligation to protect the acoustic environment and shall have the right to inform against and accuse any unit or individual that pollutes the environment with noise.

Article 8 The State encourages and supports scientific research and technological development relating to the prevention and control of environmental noise pollution, promotes wide adoption of advanced technologies in this area and disseminates scientific knowledge about prevention and control of such pollution.

Article 9 The people's governments shall give awards to units and individuals that have achieved outstanding successes in preventing and controlling environmental noise pollution.

Article 10 The competent administrative department for environmental protection under the State Council shall establish national standards for acoustic environmental quality for different function areas.
