Normally when we leave our homes we
found a number of sounds in the environment, some can be very
uncomfortable and others that does not affect us much. In cities is
where more noise is, and as we move away from the city, the sound
decreases. Sometimes these sounds may become uncomfortable and
potentially affect the auditory system, but not only that, but the
noise can bring other consequences to our body. For example: can
affect sleep when we are dealing with noise pollution. Pregnant women
can also suffer alterations in fetal development. The constant noise
can also cause negative effects on children.
Noise pollution affects us when to
sleep, after spend a day surrounded by noise, at bedtime, can affect
us because it will be more difficult to sleep. And not only affects
us that way, but these sudden noises can awaken people who are
sleeping and short sleep time. This may cause the person to unveil,
losing sleep and affecting daily activities.
Noise also can have negative effects on
fetuses. During development, they are able to perceive and respond to
sounds, especially if they are very loud sounds. If the noise is
constant in the first weeks of pregnancy may affect their
development. If noise occurs after 5 months of pregnancy, children
might become intolerant to noise and will mourn on hearing loud
noises.
The constant noise affects learning and
health of children, when children are educated in noisy environments,
they lose their ability to respond to acoustic signals, suffer
disruptions in their ability to listen as well as a delay in learning
to read and verbal communication. All these factors mean that the
child is isolated, making it very sociable.
It is important that everyone know
about the effects of noise on the human body, there are many
consequences that can bring with it living or spend much time in a
place with lots of noise pollution. The noise can be very annoying,
and not only that, but harmful to our bodies and health. So it is
important that we take preventive measures, such as eliminating
sources of noise, or have control of these sources of noise. It is
very important to look after our health.
