    Noise Pollution: Mohanad Ahmed Ahmed Rabea Aly

    Uploaded by

    Mohanad Ahmed
    This document discusses noise pollution, its sources, effects, and ways to control it. It defines noise pollution as excessive and disturbing noise from transportation, construction, and industrial or household machines that harms human and environmental health. Major sources include vehicles, construction equipment, factories, appliances, and loud speakers. Noise pollution can cause hearing loss, cardiovascular issues, sleep problems, and stress in humans. It also damages animals' nervous systems and the environment. The document examines a case study of Pune, India where noise levels exceed limits. Sound level meters are used to measure noise pollution. Controlling it involves reducing sound transmission and vibration through insulation, absorption, isolation and planning.

    NOISE POLLUTION
    WHAT IS SOUND?
     Sound is everything that we hear.
     Anything capable of vibration and sending out
    single or multiple frequencies can produce a
    ‘Sound’.
    WHAT IS NOISE POLLUTION?
      Noise pollution or sound pollution refers to the
    presence of excessive and disturbing noise (from
    machines, transportation systems, aircrafts, trains,
    etc) in the environment that is very harmful to the
    physical and mental health of the living beings on
    earth.
    SOURCES OF NOISE POLLUTION
     Transportation systems
     Construction of buildings, highways, and streets.
     Bulldozers,digging machines,etc
     Vehicle horn,noise from silenecer of a bike,etc
    SOURCES OF NOISE POLLUTION
     INDUSTRIAL NOISE:-
     Loud speakers, plumbing, boilers, generators.
     air conditioners, fans, and vacuum cleaners.
    SOURCES OF NOISE POLLUTION

     HOUSEHOLD SOURCES:-
     Food Mixer,Grinder
     Vacuum Cleaner
     Washing machine and Dryer
     Air Conditioner,Straighter and curlers
     Cooler
     Loud speaker
     Neighbor's Barking Dog
    EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION ON HUMANS

     Chronic exposure to noise may cause noise-


    induced hearing loss. Older males exposed to
    significant occupational noise demonstrate
    significantly reduced hearing sensitivity than
    their non-exposed peers .
    EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION ON HUMANS

     Unwanted noise can damage physiological and


    psychological health.
     Noise pollution can cause annoyance and
    aggression, hypertension, high stress levels,
    hearing loss, sleep distrubances, and other
    harmful effects.
    EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION ON HUMANS

     High noise levels can contribute to cardiovascular


    effects and exposure to moderately high levels
    during a single eight hour period causes a
    statistical rise in blood pressure.
    EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION ON HUMANS

     Hearing problems
    DISEASES CAUSED BY NOISE POLLUTION
     High blood pressure
     Heart attack
     Deafness
     Annoyance
     Stress
     Anxiety
     Insomnia
    REPRESENTATION OF PARTS AFFECTED
    EFFECTS ON ANIMALS
     Damages nervous system
     Altering prey detection
     Creates problem in navigation
     They become dangerous and attacking
     Raise metabollism
     Genetic and evolutionary problems
    WHAT IS NOISE?
     Noise is unwanted sound judged to be unpleasant,
    loud or disruptive to hearing.
     The unbearable volume or voice or sound that is
    not suitable for human ear.
    MARINE LIFE AFFECTED DUE TO SHIPS AND THEIR NOISE
    EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENT
     Breakage of earth barrier
     Poor quality crops
     Damages bulidings, bridgesand monuments
     Weakness the edifice of buildings
    CASE STUDY:-
    PUNE THE NOISIEST CITY OF MAHARSHTRA

     According to the report, while the prescribed


    daytime noise limit for industrial areas is 75
    decibel (dB), the recorded level of noise in such
    areas of Pune stood at 84.8 dB. For commercial
    areas, Pune city recorded 86.7 dB, as against the
    prescribed limit of 65 dB.
     Even in residential areas, the daytime record was
    78.7 dB, against the prescribed limit of 55 dB.
    SOME IMAGES OF PUNE CITY AFFECTED BY NOISE POLLUTION
    MACHINE USED TO MEASURE NOISE POLLUTION

     The most common instruments used for


    measuring noise are the sound level
    meter(SLM), the integrating sound level
    meter (ISLM), and the noise dosimeter.
     Most commanly used for vehicles with loud
    honks and silencers.
    SLM MACHINE
    WAYS TO CONTROL NOISE POLLUTION
     Sound insulation
     Sound absorption
     Vibration damping
     Vibration isolation
     Urban planning
     Public awareness and education
