Noise pollution Causes, effects and control measures.pdfJaysukh1
Noise pollution is unwanted sound that affects humans and animals. It can cause hearing loss, stress, sleep disruption, and other health issues in people. It interferes with communication in animals. Sources of noise pollution include industrial activities, vehicles, construction, and social events. Reducing noise at its source through muffling machinery and zoning industrial areas away from homes can help control noise pollution. Planting trees and using insulation in buildings are also effective control measures. Legislation setting noise standards aims to curb noise pollution.
A cochlear implant consists of internal and external components that convert sound waves to electrical impulses and transmit them to the inner ear, allowing hearing without reading lips. Speech and language ability varies among individuals, with many developing age-appropriate skills. However, cochlear implants carry risks such as facial paralysis or meningitis from infection. Early identification and treatment of hearing loss benefits children's development, with studies showing better language scores for children who begin intervention before age 12 months.
WEARABLE VIBRATION-BASED DEVICE FOR HEARING-IMPAIRED PEOPLE USING ACOUSTIC SC...IRJET Journal
This document describes a wearable device designed to help hearing impaired people by classifying environmental sounds and providing vibration alerts. It uses the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) algorithm to extract features from audio samples. Three classification models - Gaussian Hidden Markov Model (HMM), GMM-HMM, and an ensemble of the three - are used to classify sounds into categories. The top predicted class is used to activate the corresponding vibration motor. The goal is to inform users of important sounds through tactile feedback without relying on others for assistance. The device is intended to improve quality of life for the hearing impaired by helping them understand common sounds in their daily environment.

¿Es peligrosa la presencia de nanosílice en los cosméticos?
El documento discute la seguridad de las obturaciones dentales de amalgama y los materiales alternativos. Aunque la amalgama contiene mercurio, no hay pruebas de que cause problemas de salud a menos que se tenga una alergia. Las obturaciones alternativas también parecen seguras, pero se necesita más investigación. El comité científico concluyó que ni la amalgama ni los materiales alternativos son dañinos para la salud general, y los pacientes deben decidir con sus dentistas cuál opción se ajusta mejor a sus necesidades
In light of recent scientific studies on dental amalgam, SCENIHR (Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks) revisited its 2008 opinion on the safety and performance of both dental amalgam and possible alternatives (i.e. resin-based composites, glass ionomer cements and ceramics).
Mercury, which is the metallic element used in dental amalgam fillings, has well-documented and well-known health effects. Do dental amalgam and alternative materials pose any risks?
Bisphenol A (BPA) is used to produce certain plastics and medical devices. While BPA is efficiently metabolized when ingested, its metabolism is less efficient when exposure comes from medical devices. There is debate about the health risks of BPA exposure from food and medical devices, with some studies finding specific effects from low doses but no clear conclusions. Certain medical procedures that result in prolonged exposure, like those for neonates and dialysis patients, may pose a risk since exposure could exceed the tolerable daily intake level. More information is needed on alternatives to BPA in medical devices to properly evaluate risks versus treatment benefits.
Este documento discute los riesgos potenciales para la salud de la exposición al bisfenol A (BPA) a través de dispositivos médicos. Existe un debate sobre si el nivel actual de exposición al BPA representa un riesgo, aunque algunos estudios muestran efectos potenciales a dosis bajas. La exposición al BPA a través de dispositivos médicos como catéteres es menor que a través de alimentos, pero puede superar los niveles considerados seguros en algunos casos como en unidades de cuidados intens
