Abstract

Noise pollution, often ignored by the general population for its seemingly inconsequential effects on human life and the environment, is fast becoming an omnipresent pollution type. The growth of urban clusters and industries along with increase in automobiles on road increase the risks associated with noise pollution. The current study was conducted with the objective to evaluate and highlight the present noise profile of Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, India. Various established methods were used to calculate different noise level parameters like Leq, L10, L90, NC, TNI, Lnp, LDN to form a clear picture on the current noise pollution scenario in Mirzapur city. Results indicated that highest values of most of the parameters were observed at Wellesley Ganj whereas the lowest values of almost all the parameters were observed at RGSC (Control Site). The noise assessment clearly revealed the alarming situation of noise pollution in Mirzapur city.
