Peculiarities in noises to pollute

Bangshidhar Goswami, Saroj Dutta, Tridib Kumar Pathak

Abstract


Environmental noise consists of all the undesirable sounds in our communities except that which originates in the workplace at different frequencies and noise levels. Sound pollution is a health and well-being threat because it can lead to sleepless nights. Noise levels below 35–40 dB(A) are usually required for a good night's sleep. The human ear can detect changes in decibel levels, sound levels above 85 dB are potentially hazardous for more than 8 hours. Noise is an important public health issue that can lead to hearing problems during or after birth of infant, as a research, which are not updated to future fronts. Workers are exposed to high noise in factory workplace due to routine machinery. There are numerous, pervasive, persistent, medically and socially significant potential health effects of noise pollution. Labors are affected by pollution rotation so they are prescribed ear plug and rescue alerts at the site. People have the right to choose the essence of their acoustic environment, no others can enforce it.
