Publisher: Toronto Star, 2004ISSN: 1522-3205;.Subject(s): Deafness -- Noise induced | Noise -- Physiological effect | Noise -- Psychological aspects | Noise pollution | TinnitusDDC classification: 050 Summary: "For some people, the first warm summer breezes bring on a storm of emotion. Not euphoria, but anxiety, for summer is a time when the Neighbours from Hell climb onto their balcony, plug in the heavy-metal CDs, and let fly with a salvo that makes Shock and Awe sound like peace and quiet. The balmy months are the nadir of the noise-afflicted, filling the streets with the roar of road work, the blast of boom cars, the pandemonium of power saws, the squawk of stereos, and the 100-decibel din of the chattering classes shouting above the music in outdoor hard-rock cafes." (TORONTO STAR) This article discusses the negative effects of noise pollution, ranging "from widespread hearing loss at all ages to physical and psychological stress, impairment of learning and daily work, and even disruption of wildlife."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
