See a doctor to rule out tinnitus, which causes a noise that can be continuous or intermittent.

What can you do to prevent pollution in an area?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Secondary pollution occurs when primary forms of air pollution, such as vehicle exhaust and factory emissions, interact with each other to form new kinds of pollution. Acid rain, for instance, is a form of secondary air pollution. If you prevent primary pollutants from getting into the atmosphere, you eliminate the ingredients necessary for secondary pollution to occur, thereby creating the secondary effect that these additional pollutants do not form in the first place.

How loud is too much noise?

too loud

The person who answered before me is stupid. That's very obvoius *eye roll* anyway no one knows how loud is too loud. But if they did find out they would be deaf. If you really want an answer then I suggest you Google it. :)

How do you improve noise pollution?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Start using public transport. This will automatically reduce noise pollution and make the environment clean and green.It will also help in saving petrol and cutting costs. Then, the factories should be on the out-skirts , in order to decrease the noise pollution.Construction sites should not be allowed to have night shifts, tis creates noise and disturbs people's sleep who live in the neighborhood.

How do you describe noise pollution?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Noise pollution is a type of energy pollution in which distracting, irritating, or damaging sounds are freely audible. As with other forms of energy pollution (such as heat and lightpollution), noise pollution contaminants are not physical particles, but rather waves that interfere with naturally-occurring waves of a similar type in the same environment.

Need for pollution control?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a serious need for pollution control. It is important to do all that can be done in order to keep the air that people breath clean and fresh. It is also important in order to keep the water on the earth clean, not only for humans but for fish and animals.

How is use of technology causing noise pollution?

User Avatar

Asked by Faridabola

Technology is also a source of noise pollution. For example: unmonitored use of mobile phones electrical appliances loud speakers and TV. People don't switch off their mobile phones when they are in offices or in schools and colleges. They also use electric generator and it's loud voice irritates the nearby residents. Also listening to loud music and TV are also a source of noise pollution.

People need to develop a civic responsibility so that they may not trouble others.

2 causes of noise pollution?

Asked by Wiki User

A study was carried out to determine levels and factors that influence noise pollution from small-scale industries (SSIs) in Dar es Salaam City Tanzania. Two sites for wood- and metalworks industries were investigated. Both sites exhibited equivalent noise levels higher than 90.0 dBA, the permissible exposure level limit for occupational noise. At a woodworks SSI, noise levels were found to correlate well with machine-use age, wood-feed speed, and wood-cut depth. Additionally, noise emanating from both types of SSIs was found to influence the level of environmental noise in the neighborhood of the SSIs. One woodworks SSI was found to have a circle of influence of about 140 m. The study concluded that SSIs present a serious source of environmental noise pollution in their neighborhoods. Noise pollution from SSIs is greatly influenced by the type of SSIs and the activities they carry out, the type and age of machines they use, their location relative to residential areas in their vicinity, and in-house noise control measures.

Why was the clean air acted enacted?

Asked by Wiki User

In the 1990s, concern over air quality prompted passage of the Clean Air Act, which mandated reductions of nitrous oxide emissions from such facilities as smelters and blast furnaces and designated such facilities as prime areas of concern.

How much does natural gas cost per kilowatt hour?

Asked by Wiki User

The price of natural gas in the US is adjusted to closely match the price of any alternate fuel that can be used by any particular power plant. However, at present costs it is about 4 to 5 cents more or less.

How has the clean air act helped reduce air pollution?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By cause and effect. The additional expenses on industry, the promise of carbon credits from the Rothschild bank, regulated by UNEP's Agenda 21 - and by moving the dirtier industries to China. The proposed plan China would pay the Rothschild bank the carbon debt. It's win win. We not only get cleaner air, we also potentially get richer by being the ones who control it. Well, not 'we' exactly. Not entirely practical for the ones who like real hard work, who can actually build things with the science they get taught. No work available for those skills. No. You can mail out warning letters to those who have a slightly darker opacity of smoke coming from their chimney than 30%. Just give up your dreams of using applied sciences and breathe that healthy air conditioned air. Smile, your a healthy bureaucrat now!

What is the name of the instrument used to measure noise pollution?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Air pollution may be due to:

  • particulate matter by different sizes
  • odour
  • haze
  • gaseous substances

These materials can be measured by various monitors using samples taken at the site and measured by:

  • local sensors/monitors
  • light absorption and refraction
  • human observation (organoleptic observation) by trained observers

Noise pollution involves sound measurement of:

  • continuous noises
  • impact frequencies
  • peak frequency identification
