Question 1(c)

With reference to noise pollution, answer the following:

Why are the construction sites considered as worse than factories in their contribution to noise pollution?

Answer

The construction sites are considered as worse than factories in their contribution to noise pollution because whatever construction takes place noise emissions levels are higher as well as the equipment is inherently noisy.

In the era of fast urbanisation the demolition and the repair activities along with the huge machines used for the purposes create a great deal of noise to the annoyance of the people living near the sites of construction.
