The scientific meaning of pollution
is to make an atmosphere poisonous and unhealthy where no being can normally
live and grow. With the advent of science, ecological pollution is increasing
very rapidly. Noise pollution is a part of this.
Too much or constant sound or sudden
sound of high frequency disturbs a man mentally and this causes has
psychological-physiological- effects on the brain and body affecting the power
of hearing and health. Sounds mainly come from the vehicles like lorry, bus,
tram, aeroplane, loud speaker and factories. We cannot stop using even one of
them for they make our life comfortable. But the sounds emitted by these are so
terrible that someone may lose his mental balance if constantly plagued with
them. Sudden loud sound may even cause heart-failure. As remedies for sound
pollution, every vehicle should use good silencer to check high vibration of
sound, constant born-blowing or shrill horns must be prohibited and measures
should be taken for the operating machines to produce less sound. Factories
must be situated far from the residential belt. The factory workers must use
good protection for their ears. Constant shifting of a person from a noisy
atmosphere to a quiet one is essential. Sound limit and time limit for
Loud-speakers should be enforced ruthlessly because they dangerously pollution the
air in residential area mostly. In this way we can get rid of noise pollution
at least to some extent.
