POLLUTION
“Pollution means any contamination
of air, soil, water and environment.”
• Abortion is caused
• Pupil Dilation
• Digestive problems
ABORTION
There should be cool and calm atmosphere during
the pregnancy. Unpleasant sounds make a lady of
irriative nature. Sudden Noise causes abortion in
females.
PUPIL DILATION
Noise Pollution causes dilation of the pupil of the eye
Digestive problems
Noise Pollution causes digestive spasms and stomach
disorders
Effect on Property
Loud noise is very dangerous to buildings, bridges and
monuments. It creates waves which struck the walls and put
the building in danger condition.

• Dampeners: Equipment modifications, such as
dampening of metal surfaces, is effective in
reducing noise due to vibration. Another
possibility is the redesign of a particular piece of
equipment to achieve quieter noise levels.
• Bubble Curtains: introduce specifically sized air
bubbles into the water surrounding the pile in a
controlled manner, thus dampening the shock waves
and helping to minimize the effects on aquatic life. Air
may be released in a variety of ways, including
through a ring.
• Aprons: Sound aprons generally take the
form of sound absorptive mats hung from
the equipment or on frames attached to
the equipment. The aprons can be
constructed of rubber, lead-filled fabric, or
PVC layers with possibly sound absorptive
material covering the side facing the
machine. Sound aprons are useful when
the shielding must be frequently removed
or if only partial covering is possible.
• Blasting Mats: These mats are typically made
with layers of used tires cabled together. They
are commonly used as blankets for blasting
operations to control and confine debris. These
mats also provide a degree of noise attenuation
from the blast. However, they do not mitigate
vibration, which is usually more of a concern
than noise.
• Selection of Equipment: Newer equipment
is generally quieter than old equipment for
many reasons, including technological
advancements and the lack of worn, loose, or
damaged components.
- use of electric powered equipment is typically
quieter than diesel, and hydraulic powered
equipment is quieter than pneumatic power
