Speech On Noise Pollution

On each of the representative noise monitoring locations, the noise screening analysis is conducted using the PCE methodology which converts peak-hour existing, and future volumes into Noise PCE values. The Noise PCE calculation contains certain assumptions, like one medium-duty truck generates the noise equivalent of 13 cars. However, in the analysis for the traffic in other part, the types of the vehicles are not classified, so I just count the number increased by the proposal to represent the potential

In this project the main focus is to investigate the topic of "is there more private traffic than commercial traffic on Good Luck Road due to the land usage along the road?

However, there will be an increased amount of heavy vehicle movements carrying machinery and excavated material from the construction sites which could cause an increased amount of dust and noise, there could also be an rise in the air and noise pollution in the area while machinery is excavating in the construction sites, and local residents could also be affected by the ground-borne noise (vibrations and noise from tunnelling) where the tunnel is not very deep. The local residents who were surveyed (Appendix B) did have concerns about the air and noise pollution from the machinery and trucks from the worksites. On the following pages is a photograph (figure 6.1) of the development happening at the Southern interchange. The excavating is in preparation for the facilities shown in the map (figure 6.2) Apart from the issues mentioned above, there shouldn’t be too many disturbances to the local residents during the construction of the NorthConnex tunnel.

After around 85 decibels, you are at serious risk of damaging your hearing permanently. A motorcycle engine revving sits at around 100 decibels, and at 110 decibels you can experience loss of hearing after only two minutes. A loud concert can range anywhere from 100 to 120 decibels, with heavy rock band Manowar claiming the title of loudest concert ever, at a recorded level of 129 decibels.

Having an analysis by the level of pollution, the Long Lane records a dramatic increase,

Lastly, traffic causes noise and air pollution that make the city less attractive place to live. Since the traffic on the interstates create a large amount of noise, the price of homes near the interstate are reduced or become harder to attract homebuyers. Also, the amount of pollution created from automobiles on the road, contaminated the air that sometimes lead to heath problems over

Share your opinion on whether the maximum volume of these devices should be regulated. In my opinion, regulating excessive loud of noise can be positive outcome of hearing loss. According to “The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has recommended that all worker exposures to noise should be controlled below a level equivalent to 85 dBA for eight hours to minimize occupational noise induced hearing loss.”

Globally, numerous urban cities such as New York City and London have the issue of traffic congestion, and in the United States, Los Angeles and New York City take the top title of the worst traffic jams (Bekiempis). Even though traffic congestion ratings may not indicate how much air pollution in an area, most times, traffic congestion does communicate the approximate degree air pollution lies at. Atlanta does have an honorable—or rather, notorious—mention of daily traffic congestion, even though Atlanta’s traffic may not live up to the scale of that of New York City. The quality of air in the Atlanta metropolitan area can also play a testament to how far traffic congestion has gone in the

In 1910, a Nobel Prize winning German bacteriologist stated, “A day will come when man will have to fight merciless noise as the worst enemy of health”. According to Dr. Koch, “noise, like smog, is a slow agent of death” (Robert Koch, 1910 cited in Vijayalakshmi, 2003). Unfortunately, the forecast provided by Dr. Koch one hundred years ago has come true at the present time.

Have you ever been to a movie theatre, sitting at work, or hanging out at home and heard people eating, talking, or making repetitive sounds? For some, these are just regular everyday noises. But, for others these noises are so loud and disturbing that they literally become triggers for anger and cause people to distance themselves from social gatherings, family, and personal life (Kumar et al., 2014).

clear separation of the signal produced by insects from ambient noise ( nearest traffic, walking

As a result of an increased population inhabiting one area, traffic congestion is often a major issue resulting from urbanisation. In London, traffic is evidently a problem. As it would be expected from a capital city home to more

PURPOSE: To persuade my audience that we must take action now to control air pollution

Pollution has become a heated issue in recent years. The destruction of the environment along with serious health problems are the eventual effects. The extensive use and availability of automobiles, tremendous amounts of production in the booming economy and the constant increase in demand for energy, can be held responsible.

Most of society is now aware that noise can damage hearing. However, short of a threat that disaster would overtake the human race if nothing is done about noise, it is unlikely that many people today would become strongly motivated to do something about the problem. Yet, the evidence about the ill effects of noise does not allow for complacency or neglect. For instance, researchers working with children with hearing disorders are constantly reminded of the crucial importance of hearing to children. In the early years the child cannot learn to speak without special training if he has enough hearing loss to interfere effectively with the hearing of words in context
