Noise pollution has established
itself as a high-ranking pollutant all across the world. Noise pollution has
increased as a result of industrialisation, increased transportation, and other
human activities. Noise pollution poses a serious threat to developing
countries. People in India are less aware of noise pollution than they are of
water and then air pollution. It has a poisonous effect on human health. Its
effects on the population are mostly obvious after a long period of exposure.
However, as compared to water and air pollution, the decay time of noise in the
environment is quite short. The introduction to sound, noise and its monitoring
techniques, human impact, and noise pollution control are all summarised in
this book. The major goal is to raise public awareness about noise pollution
and its harmful effects on those who are exposed to it. Many governments have
revised noise regulations in attempt to reduce noise pollution, however these
regulations are rarely enforced due to a lack of public knowledge. Chapter 1
outlined the various properties of sound, as well as their thorough
definitions. As a result, in the next chapter, the characteristics of noise, as
well as their sources of origination, are described so that people can learn
about the causes of noise in the environment. In the third chapter, the
measurement techniques and instruments needed for the research of noise
pollution are also discussed in detail. In order to comprehend the influence on
the environment, multiple noise rating systems and norms as set forth by
various pollution boards have been provided. The impact of noise pollution on
human health is discussed in Chapter 4. Finally, in the concluding chapter, the
control of noise pollution at sources and by equipment has been summarised.
This book provides a brief overview of noise pollution, including its
properties, effects on humans, and mitigation measures. This is useful in
raising public awareness of the excessive level of noise pollution in the
environment.
