Growing Menace of Noise pollution

   Growing Menace of Noise pollution 

Dr Abe V Rotor

   Irritable sounds activate not only the senses but affect bodily functions.

• Pavlov’s Principle on conditioned learning.

• Adrenaline shoots up, increases blood pressure,

   challenges us – fight or flight.

• Nausea, headache, other forms of irritation.

• Interrupts present activity, interferes with  trends of events.

• Destroys relationship, creates personal  impressions.

Noise pollution in increasing order. *

• Scratching the blackboard with fingernail, similar

   to a hard chalk creating a grating sound.

• Air escaping like releasing air from a balloon. 

• Productive coughing

• Throwing out is the worst.
