Abstract |
|
Today, in the present era of technological advancement due to rapid urbanization and industrialization, the sound generated from the source is now becoming the noise mainly in urban environments. For monitoring and controlling noise pollution, Central pollution control board (CPCB) has classified urban environment into four zones namely Residential Zone, Commercial zone, Industrial zone and Silence zone. Silence zone being the noise sensitive zone is now getting noisier, mainly Hospital premises in a manner that noise pollution level in hospital areas is crossing the permissible standard limit defined for industrial zone. Hospitals in the silence zone is among the areas which need attention regarding controlling and managing noise pollution sources to comply with the standards of CPCB (2009). |
