Describe how industries and factories cause noise pollution
Answers
Industries are responsible for four types of pollution – air, water, land, and noise pollution. Following are the various reasons:
→ Air pollution is caused by the presence of high proportion of undesirable gases, such as sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide.
→ Water pollution is caused by organic and inorganic industrial wastes and effluents discharged into rivers.
→ Thermal pollution of water occurs when hot water from factories and thermal plants are drained into rivers and ponds before cooling.
→ Wastes from nuclear plants cause cancer, birth defects and miscarriages.
→ Dumping of wastes especially, glass, harmful chemicals, industrial effluents, packaging, salts and other garbage render the soil useless.
→ Noise pollution is caused due to industrial and construction activities, factory equipment, generators, electric saws, drills and other machineries.
>>Industrial Noise refers to noise that is created in the factories which is jarring and unbearable. >>Sound becomes noise only it becomes unwanted and when it becomes more than that it is referred to as "noise pollution". >>Heavy industries like shipbuilding and iron and steel have long been associated with Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL).
Industrial Noise Pollution
>>This is posing to be a big challenge with very passing day and is a threat to safety and health of the people who are working in the industry and common people as well.
>> It has been scientifically proved that noise more than 85 decibels can cause hearing impairment and does not meet the standards set for healthy working environment.
>>Moreover it can also cause accidents.
> Industrial Noise resulting to noise pollution has many reasons such as industries being close to human habitats which prevents the noise from decaying before it reaches human ear.
Effects of Industrial Noise Pollution
>>It has already been stated that continuous exposure to noise pollution leads to hearing impairment but it has various other effects as well which are as follows:
*It can result into increase in blood pressure
*Increased stress
*Fatigue
*Stomach ulcers
*vertigo
*Headaches.
*Sleep disturbance
*Annoyance
*Speech Problems
*Dysgraphia, which means writing learning impairment
*Aggression
*Anxiety
*Withdrawal
>>Industrial Noise adversely affects the workers and they suffer from various health problems as I have listed above. >>High volume leads to increased adrenaline levels, which leads to the constriction of blood vessels, which normally happens when the individual is tensed, afraid, anxious or extremely happy and excited.
>> The work pressure and the noise pollution both lead to a fairly typical situation, which leads to clinical as well as psychological stress.
>>The blood pressure, due to the constriction of blood vessels (vasoconstriction), remains high for the major part of the day.
>> The human dislike towards anything that is not pleasant, yet compelling leads to emotional stress and depression which is a term for a quite a severe situation. >>Statistically there is a rise in the number of workers dying of cardiac arrests and cerebral attacks is on an increase considerably due to industrial noise pollution in railway yards, factories etc.
>>Some people also suffer from headaches, which decrease their efficiency levels and hamper the quality of their work.
>>That leads to crises in workplace as well as home. >>Workers are always agitated and excited that result into carelessness.
>>Workers also become fatigued and in some cases over fatigued which should ring the alarm for organizations that want to grow. >>The worst part of Industrial Noise pollution is it affects the unborn baby in a womb and that too in the early days after conception since the fetus is sensitive to sounds and high decibels affects the growth of its organs.
