background: noise pollution is currently a major risk factor in industries in both developed and developing countries . the present study assessed noise pollution in the knitting industry in iran in 2009 and presented a control method to reduce the rate of noise generation. methods: the overall noise level was estimated using the network environmental noise assessment method in sina poud textil...

Abstract Air and sound are major constituents for having adverse harmful effects on environment as well human being. However, to monitor this pollution is a difficult task because authorities need visit the site collect data. This paper present IoT base air monitoring system. A prototype of system developed condition by using online software which Thinger IO platform. ESP 8266 LoLin used microc...

Non-point source (NPS) pollution has been increasingly serious in China since the 1990s. The increases of agricultural NPS pollution in China is evaluated for the period 2000-2008 by surveying the literature on water and soil pollution from fertilizers and pesticides, and assessing the surplus nitrogen balance within provinces. The main causes for NPS pollution were excessive inputs of nitrogen...

conclusions according to the factory noise map, except for the control rooms with 81 dba noise, other cases of measuring stations were higher than the standard exposure of 85 dba noise. as a result, the implementation of control strategies, such as inspection and performance of control systems and insulation of the control room to prevent unnecessary exposure noise, are necessary. background st...

In this paper, methods are presented to design an acoustic source array for both directional sound generation and non-directional sound generation. The methods are based on measured transfer functions to be able to take into account different source sensitivities, to use extended sources that cannot be regarded as point sources, and complex geometries modifying the radiation characteristics. Th...

Introduction: The improvement of technology has increased noise levels in hospital Wards to higher than international standard levels (35-45 dB). Higher noise levels than the maximum level result in patient’s instability and dissatisfaction. Moreover, it will have serious negative effects on the staff’s health and the quality of their services. The purpose of this survey is to analyze the leve...

Sound surrounds us every day, whether we are inside buildings or moving around our cities. But what is “sound” and “noise?” What effects can arise from exposure to one the other? This article will introduce complex fascinating world of sound, highlighting opportunities that acoustic scientists have reduce noise pollution design cities sound good ears, improve people’s health wellbeing.

Noise is a common and widespread problem in workplaces. Noise can lead to hearing loss, hypertension, nervous and mental disorders, annoyance and stress, sleep disturbance, negative impact on productivity and working capacity. The undesirable effects of noise on an individual or group are called annoyance. Some personal and social characteristics can affect on annoyance. This study was aimed to...
