Noise pollution is caused by unwanted or disruptive sounds that negatively impact quality of life. Transportation systems are a main source of noise pollution in urban areas. Noise pollution can damage both physical and psychological health, causing issues like high blood pressure, sleep disruption, and memory loss. Some solutions to reduce noise pollution include planting trees near sound sources, installing soundproofing in buildings, and enforcing regulations on loud speakers in public places.
Any unwanted sound that penetrates the environment is noise pollution. It is an underrated environmental problem because of the fact that we can’t see, smell, or taste it.
World Health Organization stated that “Noise must be recognized as a major threat to human well-being”

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.
Sound that is unwanted or disrupts one’s quality of life is called as noise. So, Noise is basically any unwanted sound.
In this type of pollution contaminants are not physical particles, but waves which interfere with the naturally occurring waves of a similar type in the same environment.
When there is a lot of noise in the environment it is turned as noise pollution. Sound becomes undesirable when it disturb the normal activities such as working, sleeping etc.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.

2. WHAT IS NOISE POLLUTION?
Sound that is unwanted or disrupts one’s quality of life is
called as noise. When there is lot of noise in the
environment, it is termed as noise pollution.
Sound becomes undesirable when it disturbs the normal
activities such as working, sleeping, and during
conversations.
It is an underrated environmental problem because of the
fact that we can’t see, smell, or taste it.
World Health Organization stated that “Noise must be
recognized as a major threat to human well-being”
3. HEALTH EFFECTS
According to the USEPA, there are direct links between noise
and health. Also, noise pollution adversely affects the lives of
millions of people.
Noise pollution can damage physiological and psychological
health.
High blood pressure, stress related illness, sleep disruption,
hearing loss, and productivity loss are the problems related to
noise pollution.
It can also cause memory loss, severe depression, and panic
attacks.
4. SOURCES OF NOISE POLLUTION
Transportation systems are the main source of noise pollution
in urban areas.
Construction of buildings, highways, and streets cause a lot of
noise, due to the usage of air compressors, bulldozers,
loaders, dump trucks, and pavement breakers.
Industrial noise also adds to the already unfavorable state of
noise pollution.
Loud speakers, plumbing, boilers, generators, air
conditioners, fans, and vacuum cleaners add to the existing
noise pollution.
5. SOLUTIONS FOR NOISE
POLLUTION
Planting bushes and trees in and around sound generating
sources is an effective solution for noise pollution.
Regular servicing and tuning of automobiles can effectively
reduce the noise pollution.
Buildings can be designed with suitable noise absorbing
material for the walls, windows, and ceilings.
Workers should be provided with equipments such as ear
plugs and earmuffs for hearing protection.
6. SOLUTIONS FOR NOISE
POLLUTION
Similar to automobiles, lubrication of the machinery and
servicing should be done to minimize noise generation.
Soundproof doors and windows can be installed to block
unwanted noise from outside.
Regulations should be imposed to restrict the usage of
play loudspeakers in crowded areas and public places.
Factories and industries should be located far from the
residential areas.
7. SOLUTIONS FOR NOISE
POLLUTION
Community development or urban management should
be done with long-term planning, along with an aim to
reduce noise pollution.
Social awareness programs should be taken up to
educate the public about the causes and effects of noise
pollution.
