The Effects of Noise Pollution

Noise pollution has harm effects on human’s health and earth.As a result of noise pollution is the reduction of usable habitat, which led to extincion of endangered species. Due to noise pollution, it killed certain species of beached whales. Furthermore, as a matter of fact, noise pollution causes annoyance and aggression,hypertension,high stress levels,tinnitus, and sleep disturbances on people. A study in 2005 by Spanish researchers found that in urban areas households are willing to pay approximately four Euros per decibel per year for noise reduction. Another consequences of high noise level pollution are an increase in blood pressure, creates coronary artery disease, and even hearing loss. For example,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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_pollution#Human_health_effects). The evidences above suggest that noise pollution has become dangerous problem both for earth’s environment and humans.
