Sound Pollution
When
sound or noise becomes unbearable, stressful or damaging to the ears it is
called sound pollution. The maximum level of bearable sound is 70 decibels, but
there are often sounds beyond this level. Today it is one of the burning questions
of the urban life. The thoughtless use of powerful horns is the main source of
sound pollution. Besides, faulty vehicles, construction sites, loud speakers
and thousand of workshops create it. As a result millions of people suffer many
ways. Patients and children are its worst victims. It is so much harmful that
it can cause heart attack, high-blood pressure, respiratory disorders etc in us.
It also causes neurological disorders. We suffer from depression, sleep
disorder, and inattentiveness because of it. Daily activities are also affected
by it. Students can not attend to their classes or lessons for it. Strict laws
and public awareness are necessary to bring an end to the problem.
