A study focusing on Virginia's "Data Center Alley" identified noise pollution as a direct health impact, along with broader environmental concerns related to energy and water use. State and local governments are urged to implement regulations, though Pennsylvania has taken a fragmented approach, with a bill recently advancing to require public meetings.
