THE BAD EFFECT OF NOISE POLUTION

THE BAD EFFECT OF NOISE POLUTION TO HUMAN HEALTH


Noise is defined as unwanted sound. The potential health effects of noise pollution are numerous, pervasive, persistent, and medically and socially significant.  
Noise produces direct and cumulative adverse effects that impair health and that degrade residential, social, working, and learning environments with corresponding real (economic) and intangible (well-being) losses.  It interferes with sleep, concentration, learning, communication, and recreation.

 Attending a sports event is now a terrifying nightmare. We hope that people go to a spectator sport event to be entertained by the sport and not to suffer the tyranny of obnoxious atmospheric venue noise. Hopefully people want to experience a good spectacle of sports and not being tortured by loud, cacophonic incessant and unnecessary noise. Furthermore, that noise, as proven by the incidents during the Men's FIFA World Cup played a few years ago in South Africa, interferes with the game itself.

WELLNESS AND UNWELLNESS

Wellness and unwellness in a capsule






INTRODUCTION

Disease (unwellness) represents a deviation from the biological, psychological, social and spiritual dynamic balance that characterized health (wellness). Disease is a multi factorial process that occurs when the individual is incapable of coping with imposed demands. Those demands (stressors) can be physical such as excessive exposure to noise; chemical such as getting infected with toxins released by invasive bacteria; psychological such as anxiety caused by learning new skills and/or social such as poor integration to a new community.
