Noise pollution comes from various sources like industrial activities, transportation, construction, and domestic settings. It can negatively impact human health by causing hearing loss, cardiovascular issues, learning problems, and psychological stress. The document outlines different types and measurement of noise pollution and strategies to control noise and protect human health such as reducing sound levels, interrupting noise transmission, and protecting receptors through awareness and preventive measures.
Any unwanted, disturbing or harmful sound that impairs or interferes with hearing, causes stress, hampers concentration and work efficiency or causes accidents called noise pollution.

Any sound that is undesirable or unwanted may be defined as noise. Noise is a result of human activity from road vehicles, air traffic and railways, work processes, and personal activities.
This presentation on noise pollution covers the causes, effects, and facts related to noise and presents the ways to protect the environment from the harmful effects of noise in world and it also includes the statistics of Pakistan.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. Why worry about noise?
Of all the pollution concerns:
Air,water,land, and noise; noise pollution
is the one that has the potential for the
most damage to humans and wildlife.
It is a hidden health hazard that impacts
our physical, psychological and
intellectual well being.
Our ears never shut down, even while
we are sleeping, so the input is constant.
3. Noise Pollution
Noise pollution has a broad effect.
It can excite us
Warn us of danger
Soothe us
Inspire us
Keep us in touch with our
surroundings.
And, harm our well being.
8. What does our ear drum do?
Sound waves are
collected by our ear
canal and passed to
the ear drum, which
vibrates. The sound
waves are then
picked up by fluid in
the inner ear and
passed to the inner
ear structures where
the acoustic nerve
connects to the
brain.
9. The Mighty Decibel
Hearing loss can occur
from a single exposure
to a loud noise or from
repeated exposures.
The Environmental
Protection Agency has
set a standard of 70 db
in a 24 hour period as
safe.
Decibels measure the
intensity of sound.
10. The Numbers
Rustling leaves- 10db Stereo - 90 db
whisper - 30 db bagpipes - 90-110 db
normal speech - 60 db
power saw - 100 db
television - 70 db
fire cracker - 115-120 db
traffic - 75-80 db
blow dryer - 85 db
rock concert - 120 db
noisy hall - 85 db
gunshot/train/jet - 150 db
classroom - 85 db
15. How much is too much?
Damage to health begins at
75 db.
Hearing damage begins at 90
db and can be permanent with
one exposure of 120 db or
more.
The average decibel levels at
Montpelier High School are
70-86; where damage to
physical, psychological and
communicative health begins.
