Abstract:  
Welcome to Environment, our new column that shares with you the wealth of solutions and opportunities that are evolving as our industry accepts the challenges of combining growth and profitability with the preservation of our natural resources. In this issue, we're exploring noise control solutions from Progressive Technologies; a manufacturer of robotic shot peening machinery. Noise might strike you as an odd form of pollution, but imagine enjoying a walk in a snow-hushed lane only to be disturbed by the mechanical sounds of the outside world. And worse yet are the consequences of hearing impairment - no sounds of nature, no music, no communication with loved ones.
