EPA and many non-governmental organizations, trade groups, and companies collect and share information on techniques and tools for improving a facility's vibration management. Vibration is the movement of particles in time and space, transmitted through a solid medium such as a floor or the ground. Environmental vibration from industrial sites can be a major concern to the public, as it can affect comfort and quality of life. The links provided below highlight useful sources of information.
