TOOLBOX TALK 4

NOISE POLLUTION
Noise pollution or noise disturbance is the disturbing or excessive noise that may harm the activity or balance of
human or animal life. The source of most outdoor noise worldwide is mainly caused by machines and
transportation systems, motor vehicles engines, aircraft, and trains. Outdoor noise is summarized by the word
environmental noise. Poor urban planning may give rise to noise pollution, since side-by-side industrial and
residential buildings can result in noise pollution in the residential areas.

Outdoor noise can be caused by machines, construction


activities, and music performances, especially in some
workplaces. Noise-induced hearing loss can be caused by
outside

Causes

Household sources:
Gadgets like food mixer, grinder, vacuum cleaner, washing machine and dryer, cooler, air conditioners, can be
very noisy and injurious to health. Others include loud speakers of sound systems and TVs, iPod and ear
phones. Another example may be your neighbour’s dog barking all night everyday at every shadow it sees,
disturbing everyone else in the apartment.
Social events:
Places of worship, discos and gigs, parties and other social events also create a lot of noise for the people living
in that area. In many market areas, people sell with loud speakers, others shout out offers and try to get
customers to buy their goods. It is important to note that whey these events are not often, they can be
called 'Nuisance' rather than noise pollution.
Commercial and industrial activities:
Printing presses, manufacturing industries, construction sites, contribute to noise pollutions in large cities. In
many industries, it is a requirement that people always wear earplugs to minimize their exposure to heavy noise.
People who work with lawn mowers, tractors and noisy equipment are also required to wear noise-proof
gadgets.
Transportation:
Think of aero planes flying over houses close to busy airports over ground and underground trains, vehicles on
road—these are constantly making a lot of noise and people always struggle to cope with them.
