  • Title: Evaluation studies of noise and air pollution during festival seasons in India.
    Author: Battalwar DG, Meshram SU, Yenkie MK, Puri PJ.
    Journal: J Environ Sci Eng; 2012 Jul; 54(3):406-12. PubMed ID: 24749201.
    Abstract:
    The present research work is based on assessment of noise levels and ambient air quality at selected locations during festival seasons in Nagpur city. The noise levels were exceeding the permissible limits almost at every location during the festival period. The huge emissions of smoke arising out bursting of firecrackers have significantly resulted into air pollution; particularly in terms of Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (Fine Dust). The immediate effect of increasing noise levels is impairing of hearing that may cause auditory fatigue and finally lead to deafness.
