Description
This book examines noise pollution as a physical form of pollution stemming from modern industrialized urban life and overpopulation congestion. Although it is not directly harmful to air, soil, and water, the text argues that noise pollution directly impacts human receivers. It explores how repeated exposure to noise reduces sleeping hours, lowers human productivity and efficiency, disturbs peace of mind, and invades privacy. The study highlights the growing recognition of noise as an environmental problem as its ill effects on human health and the environment become increasingly evident. Written by Dr. Shafqat Alauddin, an associate professor in chemistry with extensive experience in organic chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental chemistry, the volume addresses the consequences of urban noise on individuals. It provides a focused examination of how environmental stressors affect human well-being and daily life within congested modern societies.
