The Facts about Noise "Pollution"
According to the Noise Pollution Clearinghouse, "Noise is among
the most pervasive pollutants today. The problem with noise is not
only that it is unwanted, but also that it negatively affects human
health and well-being. Problems related to noise include hearing
loss, stress, high blood pressure, sleep loss, distraction and lost
productivity, and a general reduction in the quality of life."
In business, excessive noise can cause irreversible hearing loss,
increased worker compensation claims, and higher insurance costs.
Noise problems are hardly confined to industrial areas. Whatever
space, there are three essential approaches to controlling or eliminating
noise:
- Contain the noise at the source by using mufflers, engineering
controls, etc.
- Identify, isolate and treat the many paths noise will take with
barriers, absorbers and dampers.
- Cancel the noise by reducing sound at the listener with headphones,
earplugs, etc.
