Noise Pollution In India
The document discusses noise pollution, including its sources, effects, and regulation. It defines noise pollution as unwanted sound that disrupts normal activities. Major sources include airplanes, road traffic, construction equipment, and industrial machinery. Noise pollution can cause hearing loss and disturb sleep. Indian law regulates maximum noise levels in different zones and restricts use of loud speakers and vehicles. Individual actions like observing car-free days and using barriers can help mitigate noise pollution.

- 4. What is Noisepollution? Sound that is unwanted or which 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 A Human Being cannot handle noise more than 85 decibels (dB)
- 5. What is NoisePollution unwanted sound that penetrates the environment is 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”
- 6. Classification of NoisePollution There are 2 kinds of noise pollution:- A) Community Noise/ Environmental Noise (non industrial noise pollution). • Air craft noise • Roadway noise pollution • Under water noise pollution B) Occupational Noise( industrial noise pollution)
- 7. Community Noise Communitynoise (also called environmental noise, residential noise or domestic noise) is defined as noise emitted from all sources, except at the industrial workplace. Main sources of community noise include road, rail and air traffic, construction and public work, and the neighborhood. Typical neighborhood noise comes from live or recorded music; from sporting events including motor sports, playgrounds, car parks and from domestic animals such as barking dogs.
- 8. Occupational Noise Thereare many sources of noise is industrial machinery and processes which include: rotors, gears, turbulent fluid flow, impact processes, electrical machines, internal combustion engines, pneumatic equipment, drilling, crushing, blasting, pumps and compressors. Furthermore, the emitted sounds are reflected from floors, ceiling and equipment
- 9. Sources of noisepollution Airplanes Roadway Under water noise pollution (UPN) Constructions
- 10. Aircraft Noise Pollution Noise from Aircraft flying over residential areas impairs people's ability to work, learn in school and sleep, and consequently also results in lowered property values in affected areas. As passenger volume increases and new and larger airports are built, noise is becoming even more of a concern.
- 11. Roadway noise pollution Roadway noise is the collective sound energy emitting from motor vehicles. In the USA it contributes more to environmental noise exposure than any other noise source, and is constituted chiefly of engine, tire, aerodynamic and braking elements. In other developed countries as well as developing countries, roadway noise is expected to contribute a large share of the total societal noise pollution.
- 12. Under water noisepollution (UNP) UNP is intense human-generated noise in the marine environment. It is caused by use of explosives, oceanographic experiments, geophysical research, underwater construction, ship traffic, intense active sonars and air guns used for seismic surveys for oil and related activities.
- 13. Constructions The noisefrom the construction of highways, city streets, and buildings is a major contributor to the urban scene. Construction noise sources include pneumatic hammers, air compressors, bulldozers, loaders, dump trucks (and their back-up signals), and pavement breakers.

- 15. Problem caused dueto noise pollution There are about 25000 hair cells in our ear which create wave in our ear, responding to different levels of frequencies. With increasing levels of sound the cells get destroyed decreasing our ability to hear the high frequency sound.

- 17. Law governing NoisePollution in India Noise Pollution (Regulation and control) Rule 2000 :- section 3 of the Environmental Protection Act of 1986 led to Noise Regulation Rules (2000) . The EPA is the umbrella legislation to deal with the every dynamic issue in relation to environmental protection. The rules regulate noise levels in Industrial, [75 decibels] Commercial [65 decibels] Residential zones [55 decibels] zones of silence (100 meters) near schools, courts, hospitals, etc.
- 18. Law governing NoisePollution in India The rules also assign regulatory authority for these standards to the local district courts. Some important observations from the rules:- • No permission can be granted by any authority for use of public address system in the open after 10.00 PM and before 6.00 AM. No exception is possible • After permission has been procured the sound must fall within the sound limits prescribed in the Noise Rules. This can be measured on a sound meter. Any person violating the Rules is liable to be arrested under the provisions of the EPA.
- 19. Law governing NoisePollution in India • If the authorities do not act to stop violation of the Noise Rules, the citizen who has filed a complaint can approach the Court with his complaint after 60 days' notice and the Court can initiate prosecution • The rules also fix different ambient air quality levels for firecrackers and industrial activities.

- 21. What can Ido to make a difference? There are a variety of effective strategies for mitigating adverse sound levels Persuade Taking the help of police. Observe car free day on 22nd of September. Creating awareness about the ill effects of noise pollution. Promising oneself not to be the part of pollution creator. use of noise barriers. limitation of vehicle speeds alteration of roadway surface texture. limitation of heavy duty vehicles
- 22. Conclusion Improved trafficmanagement practices, such as one way traffic movement, proper management of buses in the traffic stream may reduce traffic noise level to some extent. Proper noise barrier should be constructed under flyovers to mitigate the traffic noise level. The Factories Act, 1948 does not contain a specific provision of noise control while it has been found in a number of cases that high intensities, high frequencies and intermittency of noise are the factor of annoyance for the workers. The Central and the State Boards now exercise the powers and functions under Section 16 and 17 of the Air Act, respectively with regard to the prevention and control of noise pollution including the laying down of noise standards. Noise adversely affects general health and well-being in the same way as does chronic stress. It adversely affects future generations by degrading residential, social, and learning environments with corresponding economic losses.
