Review on Noise Pollution and Its Associated Health Hazards

Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

Noise pollution arising from indoor or outdoor sources is a potential threat to human health. Individuals residing along the busy traffic lanes, railway tracks and airport and those working in various industries are constantly exposed to sound levels above the physiological exposure limit. Prolonged exposure to high sound levels produce loss of hearing, tinnitus, sleep disturbances, tachycardia, hypertension, coronary artery diseases, annoyance, stress related symptoms and decreased work performance. Adapting suitable modalities to prevent noise pollution may help in combating noise induced health hazards. Keywords: Noise Pollution, Hearing loss, Hypertension, Coronary Artery disease, sleep disturbance, annoyance, stress.
