Question

A disease caused by the noise pollution is
A)Anaemia
B)Insomnia
C)Edema
D)None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: In decibels, the sound is measured in (dB). A whisper is about 30 dB, regular talk is about 60 dB, and it is about 95 dB for a motorcycle engine to run. Noise over 70 dB can start to affect your hearing for an extended period of time. Loud noise above 120 dB will damage your ears instantly.

Complete answer:
Noise pollution is characterized as any unnecessary noise produced by humans or machines that disturbs the equilibrium or operation of human or animal life. Physiological and psychological wellbeing can be affected by noise emissions. The concerns linked to noise exposure are high blood pressure, insomnia, stress-related disease, sleep disturbance, hearing loss, and loss of productivity. Therefore, insomnia is a disorder due to noise pollution (sleeplessness).

Noise exposure affects both health and actions. Excessive sounds can impact physiological well-being (noise). Many health problems, including cardiovascular diseases, asthma, elevated levels of stress, tinnitus, hearing loss, sleep disruptions, and other adverse and upsetting effects, are correlated with noise pollution. According to a 2019 survey of the latest literature, noise pollution was associated with greater cognitive deterioration.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: Pollution from roadways and other urban causes may be mitigated through urban planning and better road construction. The use of noise barriers, vehicle speed limitation, roadway surface texture change, heavy vehicle limitation, the use of smooth vehicle flow controls to reduce braking and acceleration, and the design of tires can reduce roadway noise.
