My insatiable interest in the world around me is what keeps me going in my job day after day.
No quandry is too large for me to dig right in and uncover a key that opens the door to resolution – all natural, if possible.
A buddy of mine and I play a little game where she gives me information about a persons health concern and I identify the cause of the concern. Just the other day she told me of a person that lives near a airport who suffers from hypertension.
The cause of the health concern, which is what I’m to identify, must not depend upon habits or circumstances not included in the story.
I examined the clues and believe the root of the problem of the woman’s concern is her new location near the airport and the noise generated there. Noise from machines, airplanes, even lighting hum can cause unexpected, negative impacts in a person’s life.
Displeasing sound, created by people, animals or machines, that upsets the the balance of life is called Noise Pollution.
Sleep can be interrupted from sounds around 45 decibles. Those about 85 dB can cause permanent dammage and lead to hearing loss. At 120 dB, a clap of thunder from a nearby storm or a gunshot, can cause physical pain and immediate damage.
More distant sounds that are noticeable but not harmful, like a car alarm or traffic in the street far below your highrise, can still cause a person to feel effects like stress, irritation, or a lack of focus.
Many studies indicate that inconsistant noises may be a greater problem than constant noises at in the same range of sound. Noise is produced by aircraft engines, trucks, honking car horns, motorcycles, and industrial machines, etc.
Strident noises, experienced in the shortterm can result in scatterbrained behavior, feelings of uncertainty, sleeplessness, as well as hypertension.
Continual exposure to high noise environments can negatively affect a person’s health. It can lead to ulcers, hearing loss, heart problems and even mental illnesses.
The trouble with environmental noise is that many continue to view it as a simple annoyance rather than the health concern it really is. Regulation varies among states as well as cities and municipalities.
Steering clear of noise and its causes is a good practice; when noise cannot be avoided, minimize it as much as possible by wearing ear plugs or muffs.
Visiting your environment to alleviate the causes of noise pollution is something I cannot do, but I can mollify the symptoms of stress caused by this pollutant, thus lowering blood pressure and regulating hypertension.
