Noise pollution
- It is a major issue in today’s urban areas. From factories to vehicles, from machinery to daily equipment, everything produces a noise that is having a significant impact on the ambient environment as well as the health and well-being of humans.
- Recognizing the harmful effects of noise, the Indian government included measures to abate noise pollution under the Environment Protection Act, 1986. Noise pollution was one of the categories being addressed under this Act. However, in the late 1990s, the government decided to come out with separate legislation solely focusing on noise pollution. Thus was born, Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000.
| Area code | Category of area | Day limit in (dB) | Night limit (dB) |
| A | Industrial Areas | 75 | 70 |
| B | Commercial Areas | 65 | 55 |
| C | Residential Areas | 55 | 45 |
| D | Silence Zones | 50 | 40 |
