Preface: New Solutions Mitigating Environmental Noise Pollution

Non-auditory Effects Caused by Environmental Noise Pollution

Noise pollution is one of the prominent environmental problems affecting human health especially in developing countries. The impacts of noise on health should not be underestimated. Exposure to acoustical stimuli impairs not only the function of auditory system but also that of many other systems of human body. Previous investigations revealed that noise exposure could result in sleep disturba...

Noise an Environmental Pollutant

The harmful effect of the noise on human health has been known for many decades and it's first harmful effect on the hearing came to be known in the year 1831. According to the nature of the work, this di- sease was called Boiler Maker's deafness.  Noise due to the industrial machineries is one of the main cause of Environmental Poliution, and among the different industreis, Textile industry i...

Evaluation of Noise pollution in the schools of Birjand city and its administrative solutions, in 2011

  Background: Educational centers have higher standards for controlling noise pollution as it has been shown that noise pollution is a major cause of discomfort for teachers and students. Noise pollution reduces concentration, interferes in the conversation, and leads to dropouts and lower grades especially in mathematics. The present study aimed to evaluate noise pollution in the schools ...

Measurement Of Environmental Pollution In Tourism Area ( Case study : noise pollution )

Mitigating Atmospheric Noise for Loran

With its large-amplitude and short-duration pulses, atmospheric noise, produced by electrical discharges within clouds, dominates the low-frequency spectrum. Unless mitigated, this noise, which enters into the Loran band, can distort a Loran signal within a receiver and can induce cycle selection errors resulting in range measurement errors of 3,000 km. Such errors would induce position errors ...
