Studies on temporal variation of sound level on long time scale in Burdwan town – A Case Study from West Bengal, India
Journal Title: International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Noise pollution is recognized as one of the major fear that affects the quality of life in urban areas across the globe. Burdwan, a district headquarter (100 km away from Kolkata) is one such town where noise pollution is very frequent. For assessing the noise pollution trend on long term scale noise data were collected from various places of the town by sound level meter with a duration of 30minutes/location during specified time like 6.00am, 10.00am, 1.00pm, 4.00pm and 6.00pm during 2002, 2008 and 2014. From the tabulated data of successive three years it was found that sound level lies within the range of 64-85dB or above in different time at different places. Statistically noise level in all these zones differ significantly at their peak hours. Results from the respective three years reveal that the regular increment in the sound pressure levels. This study may help to disseminate awareness about noise pollution among the people, by which they will be able to take required precautionary measures to save themselves from the adverse effects of noise pollution and to improve the quality of the environment.
