letter on noise pollution
Answers
The Editor,
The Times of India,
New Delhi-110 001.
Sir,
I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities towards increasing problem of noise pollution. It is causing great damage to the health problem of the city. It leads to irritation, loss of sleep, rest and peace. It is harmful to physical and mental health of people. Frequent loud noise affects the working efficiency of the people. Persistent noise pollution causes a loss of sense of hearing.
Increasing noise pollution is a big threat to the health and fitness of the people, if the noise pollution is allowed to go unchecked it may rob the people of their hearing capacity, creasing number of vehicles on the roads, rising growth of factories, construction work, loudspeakers used on various occasions, rock and pop music, etc. are various factors responsible for causing noise pollution. Noise control laws are openly violated.
It is the time that the authorities should awake against the danger of noise pollution. They should strictly enforce the noise control laws. The noise producing factories located in the residential areas should be shifted to far-off places without any delay. The use of loudspeaker should be stopped after specific time. Above all, public needs to be aware and cooperative against the danger of noise pollution because without public cooperation authorities cannot make much difference.
It is earnestly hoped that concerned authorities will take immediate and urgent necessary action against those responsible for noise pollution to relieve the people from the harmful effects of noise pollution.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Subject: Noise pollution, effects, and prevention.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to express my concern about the increasing noise pollution especially in our cities and industrialized areas. Noise pollution causes different adverse effects on the physical and psychological well-being of people.
1) Noise pollution:
Noise pollution or sound pollution is harmful to the quality of life of human and animal life. Noise pollution is commonly generated in many industrial facilities and other workplaces. It also comes from the highway, railway, and airplane traffic and outdoor construction activities.
2) The adverse effects of noise pollution:
Noise pollution adversely affects our general well-being. It deteriotes our physiological health. Continuous exposure to noise pollution can result in lack of sleep (insomnia), hypertension (high blood pressure), and anxiety. Noise pollution can lead to partial or even complete loss of hearing. It causes many stress-related illnesses. Noise pollution affects children more than grownups.
3) Measures to Limit Noise Pollution:
Aircraft engines and automobile engines should be fitted with silencing devices.
Factories should be relocated far from residential areas. More trees should be planted along the roads because trees absorb noise.
Hence, the authorities of Noise Pollution Control Board and Government agencies must wake up and take appropriate actions without delay.
Yours sincerely,
