Noise Level Monitoring During Diwali Festival 2008 2


1. Introduction Deepawali or Diwali in India is celebrated with lots of enthusiasm and happiness. This festival is also known as the 'Festival of Lights'. Fireworks are always associated with this festival. The day is celebrated with people lighting diyas, candles all around their house. Lakshmi Puja is performed in the evening to seek divine blessings of Goddess of Wealth. Diwali gifts are exchanged among all near and dear ones. The auspicious day of Diwali is decided by the moon position & according to the Hindu calendar, Amavasya or the "no moon day" is considered the perfect day for Diwali. The dark night comes after every fortnight & in the Hindu month of Kartik (October/November), it marks the festive occasion. The Diwali date holds an imperative meaning among the Hindus, since, the day is reckoned with Lord Rama's coronation ceremony as the King of Ayodhya after his return to the kingdom from 14 years of exile along with his wife Sita & brother Laxman after killing the demon, King Ravana. People celebrated this occasion by lighting diyas to drive away the darkness of amavasya.

2. Objective The objective of this exercise is to assess the problem faced by the residents when the noise level of their surroundings exceeds the permissible limit. Young generation (students) were involved who acted as messengers on environmental awareness and explain the passerby, who show interest in noise measurement.

3. Noise Pollution and its effect on Environment Noise is defined as the undesirable sound. Sound which pleases the listeners is music and that which causes pain and annoyance is noise. At times what is music for some can be noise for others. To some people the roar of an engine is satisfying or thrilling and to others it may be annoying. Noise is transient; once the pollution stops, the environment is free of it. We can measure individual sounds that may damage human hearing, but it is difficult to monitor cumulative exposure to noise. The effect of noise pollution is multifaceted and inter related. The effect of noise pollution can lead to decrease in efficiency, lack of concentration, fatigue, increase in blood pressure, temporary deafness, could lead to abortion etc.

4. Noise Level Measurement and Noise Pollution Standards A decibel is the standard for the measurement of noise. The zero on a decibel scale is at the threshold of hearing, the lowest sound pressure that can be heard. According to D.B. Smith, 20 dB is whisper, 40 dB is quiet office, 60 dB is normal conversation and 80 dB is the level at which sound becomes physically painful. Noise is measured in decibels (dBA). ‘A’ symbol indicates a measurement of a logarithmic scale. In each case, the actual measurement ‘a’ is compared to a fixed reference level ‘r’ and the “decibel” value is defined to be 10 log 10 (a/r). ‘A’ weighing filters out lower frequencies very severely. Fast responses closely match to the simulations of Human ear sensitivity. Fast response (125 to 200 milli-seconds) was selected to measure noise levels. The human response to Noise depends upon the frequency of the sound, the type of noise (continuous, intermittent or impulsive) and the time (day or night) it occurs.

Noise has been recognised as ambient air pollutant. Standards in this regard are laid down under The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (and rules made there under) and under the Model Rules of the Factories Act, 1948 for occupational health and safety purposes.



The Central Pollution Control Board constituted a National Committee of Experts on Noise Pollution Control. The Committee recommended noise standards for ambient air and for automobiles, domestic appliances and construction equipment, which were later notified under The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 as given below:

Area Code Category of Area Limits in dB(A) Leq Day time Night time A Industrial area 75 70 B Commercial area 65 55 C Residential Area 55 45 D Silence Zone 50 40

Note:

1. Day time is reckoned from 6 A.M. To 10 P.M. 2. Night time is reckoned in from 10 P.M. and 6 A.M. 3. Silence zone is referred as areas within 100 meters around premises such as

hospitals, educational institutions and courts. The Silence zones are to be declared by the Competent Authority.

4. Use of vehicular horns, loudspeakers and bursting of crackers shall be banned in these zones.

5. Mixed categories of areas should be declared as one of the four above mentioned categories by the Competent Authority and the corresponding standards shall apply.

5. Methodology of the survey

The noise pollution monitoring was carried out from October 28th to 30th 2008. Noise level measurement was done in two sessions; morning and evening. In the morning it was carried out from 0500 hrs upto 1100 hrs on the 28th and 29th October while the evening session was carried out from 1800 hrs upto midnight (2400 hrs) on the 28th, 29th and 30th October. The monitoring was carried out at locations closer to the residential buildings. The main purpose of this exercise was to determine how the environment is disturbed and what effect it has on a normal human being residing in that area or closer to the area. There were a total of 115 locations covered during Diwali festival in Maharashtra. The detailed list of location is as follows:-

6. Noise Levels at Various Locations in the City: All the values are in Leq dB (A). The monitoring was done from 0500 hrs to 1100 hrs on 28th and 29th October and from 1800 hrs upto midnight (2400 hrs) on 28th, 29th and 30th October. The detailed result (mean) values are followed by graphs (morning and evening) of the locations.
