Last night, yarl restaurant turned off its loud and deafening kitchenhood at 11.17 p.m. and turned it on again at 6.54 a.m. this morning. So how many hours did we get to sleep? Only 7 hours 37 minutes. Why is it really so difficult for us to get 8 hours sleep a day in Malaysia? Why must we be plagued by loud and deafening noise continuously at an average of 17 hours a day but cannot say or do anything about it? To sleep 8 hours a day is something which everyone takes for granted but, as citizens of Malaysia, we have to fight so hard for it over such a long period of time but after so much sufferings we are still being denied the right to sleep 8 hours a day. Where are our basic human rights? Or do we have any? What's wrong with us? What is meant by RAKYAT DIUTAMAKAN (PEOPLE FIRST)? DOES IT MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO ENDURE NOISE POLLUTION WITH FORTITUDE BECAUSE THE KUALA LUMPUR CITY HALL CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? WHERE IS JUSTICE? THE LIFE OF A NOISE POLLUTION VICTIM IS AN EXTREMELY PAINFUL ONE TO ENDURE. WE ARE DYING SLOWLY FROM YARL RESTAUTANT'S NOISE POLLUTION PROGRAM. SOMEBODY HELP US PLEASE.
What are the harmful effects of Noise Pollution
- Bhishm Khanna
Noise is considered a serious threat to the environmental health. Some of the adverse effects of noise pollution are given below:
1. It interferes with speech. In the presence of noise we may not able to follow, what the other person is saying.
2. Noise leads to emotional and behavioral stress. A person may feel disturbed in the presence of loud noise such as produced by heating of drums.
3. Noise may permanently damage hearing. A sudden loud noise can cause severe damage to the eardrum (Yarl restaurant's kitchen hood noise can also cause deafness because it is so loud and deafening that the entire building seems to be vibrating because of the noise that comes from it).
4. Noise increases the chances of occurrence of diseases such as headache, blood pressure, heart failure, etc.
5. Noise leads to increased heart beat, constriction of blood vessels and dilation of pupil.
6. Noise is a problem especially for patients who need rest.
7. Noise may cause damage to liver, brain and heart.
