Noise pollution is generally defined\nas regular exposure to elevated sound levels that may lead to adverse\neffects in humans or other living organisms. According to the\nWHO, sound levels less than 70 dB are not damaging to living\norganisms, regardless of how long or consistent the exposure is. Noise\npollution has emerged as a hazard especially in urban and industrial areas.\nNoise pollution or noise disturbance is the noise levelsthat may harm the activity or balance of human or animal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\nVarious causes of noise pollution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Industrialization:\n<\/strong>Most of the industries use big\nmachines which are capable of producing a large amount of noise. Apart from that,\nvarious equipment like compressors, generators, exhaust fans, grinding mills\nalso participates in producing big noise. <\/li>
  2. Poor Urban Planning: <\/strong>In most of the developing countries, poor urban\nplanning also plays a vital role. Congested houses, large families sharing\nsmall space, fight over parking, frequent fights over basic amenities leads to\nnoise pollution which may disrupt the environment of society.<\/li>
  3. Social Event:<\/strong> Noise is at its peak in most of the social events. Whether\nit is marriage, parties, pub, disco or place of worship, people normally flout\nrules set by the local administration and create nuisance in the area.<\/li>
  4. Transportation: <\/strong>A large number of vehicles on roads, airplanes flying over\nhouses, underground trains produce heavy noise and people get it difficult to\nget accustomed to that. The high noise leads to a situation wherein a normal\nperson loses the ability to hear properly.<\/li>
  5. Construction Activities: <\/strong>Under construction activities like mining,\nconstruction of bridges, dams, buildings, stations, roads, flyovers takes place\nin almost every part of the world. These construction activities take place\nevery day. The down point is that these construction equipment are too noisy.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Effects\nof Noise pollution on human health:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Hearing Problems: <\/strong>Any unwanted sound that our ears have not been built to\nfilter can cause problems within the body. Constant exposure to loud levels of\nnoise can easily result in the damage of our eardrums and loss of hearing. It\nalso reduces our sensitivity to sounds that our ears pick up unconsciously to\nregulate our body\u2019s rhythm.<\/li>
    2. Psychological Issues: <\/strong>Studies show that the occurrence of aggressive\nbehaviour, disturbance of sleep, constant stress, fatigue, and hypertension can\nbe linked to excessive noise levels. These, in turn, can cause more severe and\nchronic health issues later in life.<\/li>
    3. Sleeping\nDisorders: <\/strong>Loud noise can\ncertainly hamper sleeping pattern and may lead to irritation and uncomfortable\nsituations. It may lead to problems related to fatigue and individual\u2019s\nperformance goes down.<\/li>
    4. Cardiovascular Issues: <\/strong>Blood pressure levels, cardiovascular disease,\nand stress-related heart problems are on the rise. Studies suggest that\nhigh-intensity noise causes high blood pressure and increases heartbeat rate as\nit disrupts the normal blood flow. <\/li>
    5. Communication troubles: <\/strong>High decibel noise can put trouble and may not\nallow two people to communicate freely. Constant sharp noise can give you a\nsevere headache and disturb emotional balance.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      While this form of pollution may seem\nharmless, it, in fact, has far-reaching consequences. The adverse effects on\nthe health of the environment are quite severe. Not only is the local wildlife\naffected by pollution but humans also face a number of problems due to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
