Noise Pollution and Control Strategy

Noise Pollution and Control Strategy discusses the basics of acoustic propagation and noise reviews over all national and international noise situations and gives various techniques available for noise measurements and assessment, health effects of noise, the standards adopted by various countries of the world, environmental impact assessment techniques, control measure and status of noise measurement and abatement practices. In the last chapter, an effort has been made to lay an appropriate strategy to control noise. The book concludes with the future vision in the area of noise pollution and an up to date list of references and bibliography. The acoustical terminology in a separate appendix would be of great help as a ready reference.
