There is no law to control noise pollution.

Laws to control noise pollution exist globally and nationally, contradicting the statement. The CIPS

L3M6 module

examples like the UK’s Control of Pollution Act 1974 and EU noise

directives, which set limits on acceptable noise levels (e.g., decibels from transport or industry).

These regulations mandate mitigation measures (e.g., noise barriers, curfews) and penalties for non-

compliance, ensuring environmental protection. In procurement, such laws influence equipment

choices and site operations, aligning with LO2’s focus on regulatory impacts on supply chains. The

presence of these laws makes the statement false.
