Sound Pollution

Sound pollution in Craiova town manifests [pervades all parts of the town] by / through all aspects, being generated by road, railway , air and industrial traffic and other sources of pollution as well.
The main element of sound pollution is noise, characterized by levels of intensity, duration, frequency and periodicity. This is a tautology - sound pollution can only be the result of noise. Try rephrasing the sentence.
Noise represents a major risk factor for human health associated with hearing handicap, work stress, and loss of hearing in children born of mothers exposed during their pregnancy[This is a new one to me - is there proper evidence for this?] or on unborn children.[I`d like to say smth. on the effects of sound pollution on unborn children] [If you do, you really have to provide the references]
The evaluation and management[ shall I use control instead of management? [No - I think management is fine here]] of environmental noise represents a priority on the working agenda of the European Parliament and of the Council of Europe.
Romania has transposed [adopted] the European Community legislation [unlikely ] "Directive"] on noise pollution into [?] and is including it within the Governmental law/decision nr.X.

Sorry, Teia - you have some work to do!
