Noise Pollution

About

Noise pollution refers to the propagation of unwanted or excessive sound that can have harmful effects on humans and animals. It is primarily caused by human activities such as traffic, industrial operations, and construction. Noise pollution disrupts normal activities like sleep and conversation, impacting quality of life. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can lead to health issues such as hearing loss, cardiovascular problems, and stress. Noise pollution affects not only human health but also animal behavior and ecosystems. It can interfere with communication, feeding, and mating behaviors in wildlife. In urban areas, noise from traffic, construction, and nightlife is particularly problematic. Reducing noise pollution involves identifying sources and implementing measures like soundproofing buildings and regulating noise levels from vehicles and machinery. Addressing noise pollution is crucial for creating a healthier environment for both humans and wildlife.
