🌍 Why noise pollution is important

Noise is not just a nuisance, it affects your overall health. These problems can be of the following nature

• Lack of sleep or sound sleep
• Hearing loss (due to prolonged exposure)
• Stress and anxiety due to being constantly in a noisy environment
• Constant exposure to noise can cause cardiovascular problems (high blood pressure, heart disease)
• Reduced productivity in workplaces and schools

According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization, noise above 55 dB outdoors can cause discomfort, while prolonged exposure to more than 70-80 dB can cause permanent hearing damage.
