What is noise pollution 什么是噪聲污染
Sound pollution is excessive, displeasing human, animal or machine-created environmental noise that disrupts the activity or balance of human or animal life. The word noise comes from the Latin word nauseas, meaning seasickness.
The source of most outdoor noise worldwide is mainly construction and transportation systems, including motor vehicle noise, aircraft noise and rail noise.Poor urban planning may give rise to sound pollution, since side-by-side industrial and residential buildings can result in sound pollution in the residential area.
Indoor and outdoor sound pollution sources include car alarms, emergency service sirens, mechanical equipment, fireworks, compressed air horns, grounds keeping equipment, barking dogs, appliances, lighting hum, audio entertainment systems, and electric megaphones, and loud people.
Noise health effects are both health and behavioral in nature. The unwanted sound is called noise. This unwanted sound can damage physiological and psychological health. Sound pollution can cause annoyance and aggression, hypertension, high stress levels, tinnitus, hearing loss, sleep disturbances, and other harmful effects. Furthermore, stress and hypertension are the leading causes to health problems, whereas tinnitus can lead to forgetfulness, severe depression and at times panic attacks.
Chronic exposure to noise may cause noise-induced hearing loss. Older males exposed to significant occupational noise demonstrate significantly reduced hearing sensitivity than their non-exposed peers, though differences in hearing sensitivity decrease with time and the two groups are indistinguishable by age 79. A comparison of Maaban tribesmen, who were insignificantly exposed to transportation or industrial noise, to a typical U.S. population showed that chronic exposure to moderately high levels of environmental noise contributes to hearing loss.
High noise levels can contribute to cardiovascular effects and exposure to moderately high levels during a single eight hour period causes a statistical rise in blood pressure of five to ten points and an increase in stress and vasoconstriction leading to the increased blood pressure noted above as well as to increased incidence of coronary artery disease.
Sound pollution is also a cause of annoyance. A 2005 study by Spanish researchers found that in urban areas households are willing to pay approximately four Euros per decibel per year for noise reduction.
噪聲污染(sound pollution)按聲源的機(jī)械特點(diǎn)可分為:氣體擾動(dòng)(gas disturbance)產(chǎn)生的噪聲、固體振動(dòng)(solid vibration)產(chǎn)生的噪聲、液體撞擊(liquid impact)產(chǎn)生的噪聲以及電磁(electromagnetism)作用產(chǎn)生的電磁噪聲。
噪聲污染對(duì)人、動(dòng)物、儀器儀表以及建筑物均構(gòu)成危害,其危害程度主要取決于噪聲的頻率(frequency)、強(qiáng)度(intensity)及暴露時(shí)間(exposure time)。
控制噪音環(huán)境,除了考慮人的因素之外,還須兼顧經(jīng)濟(jì)和技術(shù)上的可行性(feasibility)。充分的噪音控制,必須考慮噪音源(noise source)、傳音途徑(acoustic approach)、受音者所組成的整個(gè)系統(tǒng)??刂圃胍舻拇胧┛梢葬槍?duì)上述三個(gè)部分或其中任何一個(gè)部分。
