Noise pollution also Shows other too on humans. We will try to cover all those point.
~> Sleep interference - Noise also provide interference to human and animals sleep. Due to this mental health and heart disease can increase .It also affect in communication and working efficiency.
~> Due to noise Pollution communion of interference increase which may increase the industrial accident.
