PREVENTIVE MEASURES
OF NOISE POLLUTION
BY

CIVIL – ‘A’
WHAT IS NOISE POLLUTION?
 Noise pollution means an unwanted or undesirable sound that leads to
physical and mental problems. Noise pollution is dependent on the
loudness and frequency of the sound.
 In fact, when the sound exceeds its limit, it becomes fatal for human
and other organisms. The noise intensity is measured in decibels or
dB. A person can bear the noise up to 85 decibels, after which his
hearing power can be damaged.
 The World Health Organization considers the sound of 45 decibels
ideal for cities. But measurement of sound in most big cities exceeds
90 decibels.
SOURCES/CAUSES OF NOISE POLLUTION
 Natural sources
 Human sources
 Vehicular Noise
 Industrial Noise
 Commercialization of residential areas
 Domestic Noise
 Construction activities
 Political Activities
EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION/DISEASES
CAUSED BY NOISE POLLUTION
 Noise pollution may cause temporary or permanent hearing
impairment. The most direct harmful effect of excessive noise falls
on the ears. Many times, extreme noise ruptures the ear drums.
 You cannot only be deaf but can also come in the grip of deadly
illnesses like impotence and cancer, besides problems such as lack of
memory, concentration, and interruption in speech, irritation,
irritability, stress and depression.
 Health experts believe that rising noise gives rise to neurological
disease, nervous breakdown, hypertension, vision, dizziness,
excessive sweating, exhaustion.
MEASURES FOR PREVENTION/CONTROL OF
NOISE POLLUTION
We have to control pollution by both the ways. So we’ll discuss both
 Mass Measures for Prevention
 Individual Measures for Prevention
Mass Measures for Prevention
 Construction of soundproof rooms for noisy machines in industrial and
manufacturing installations must be encouraged. This is also
important for residential building—noisy machines should be installed
far from sleeping and living rooms, like in a basement or garage.
 Use of horns with jarring sounds, motorbikes with damaged
exhaust pipes, noisy trucks to be banned.
 Noise producing industries, airports, bus and transport terminals
and railway stations to sighted far from where living places.
 Community law enforcers should check the misuse of
loudspeakers, worshipers, outdoor parties and discos, as well as
public announcements systems.
 Community laws must silence zones near schools / colleges, hospitals etc.
 Vegetation (trees) along roads and in residential areas is a good
way to reduce noise pollution as they absorb sound.
Individual Measures for Prevention
 Sound-proof your space
 Keep noisy machines away
from your bedroom and living
areas
 Spend time away from noise
 Learn to meditate
 Use earplugs and noise-
canceling headphones
 Install noise-reducing insulation
and glass
Conclusion
 Pollution is due to excessive sound is dangerous both for mental and
physical health; it poses a threat for living organisms to exist on
Earth.
 While the government and the courts of various countries are taking
several measures to reduce the intensity of noise pollution, it calls for
collective efforts and resolve on the part of mankind.
 Moreover, there is a need for greater awareness on this issue as only 5
to 10 percent of the people affected by noise formally file a
complaint. Many people are not aware of the information about their
legal rights under the environmental laws in force in various
countries.
Thank You
