Is Noise Pollution More Than An Annoyance

By Christian Goodman

I'm good at my profession because I have a fire to learn and be knowledgeable. Often I will start with a thinking and from there In will go on to research, interviews, research, testing, research, research, research.

My friends and family have lovingly referred to me as "Mr. Fix It" (or "Mr. Know-it-all" when they don't like my conclusions) due to my need to take a problem and find a solution - all naturally if possible.

A friend of mine will narrate a problem with little information and will ask to find the cause of the problem. She always plays this game with me. An example is lately she told me one of her friend who lives by an airport is suffering from high blood pressure.

Now it's my responsibility to tell her what's the cause. She also did not reveal any information on her diet. health history, lifestyle and age as these are not her major contributor for the disease.

As the title of this article has exposed, airports are noisy. So? Why would this be important? In order to answer that I applied my research techniques and found an amazing amount of information on noise pollution and its effects on one's health.

Noise pollution, also known as environmental noise is unwanted or unpleasant noise created by both people and animals and machines.

We will not be able to sleep when the noise is at 45 decibels. Hearing of the ears gets damaged at 85 decibels. You can feel the pain in the ear when the decibel reaches 120.

Sometimes the noise is simply annoying, for example, loud people, barking dog or loud stereo system registering at a decibel level low enough not to cause damage but to still produce symptoms such as irritability, or frustration.

Commons sources of noise include cars, trains, airplanes, factory machinery and construction machinery.

People get high blood pressure lack of sleep, indigestion, confusion and forgetfulness. This when they are exposed to high noise even for short period.

The exposure what the person is exposed whether in his work place or residence can result in serious problems over their health. The effects may include heart disease, ulcers, permanent hearing loss and can even lead to mental illness.

The noise pollution law in U.S. does varies from state to state and city to city. There are also some states with no laws as most them do not think it's a health issue.

The best solution of course is to avoid the source of the noise but when that's not possible for say working in or living near high noise areas, take steps to mitigate the risk of damage by following proper hearing safety protocols at work and insulating ones home to noise as much as possible.

Well, I don't offer those tools, but what I offer is my natural program that can regulate your high blood pressure. The program is designed in such a way that it reverses the stress, which is caused due to high noise and thus lowering the high blood pressure.
