It is observed to give an opportunity to potential stakeholders to contribute towards safety on the road. The aim is to reduce accidents by 50% this <strong>National Road Safety Week<\/strong>. The campaign aims to create awareness among people to comply with government safety laws and as a result, keep themselves and their loved ones safe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This National Road Safety Week, we are bringing to your notice the effects of certain types of <strong>pollution <\/strong>around us. This implies that we will discuss how transportation causes noise pollution and air pollution and in turn how the two affect your health.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Effects_of_Noise_Pollution_on_Health\"><\/span><strong>Effects of Noise Pollution on Health<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A huge number of automobiles on the road, aeroplanes flying over houses, and subway trains make a lot of noise, which many find difficult to adjust to. As a result, a normal person\u2019s hearing capacity is impaired. This <strong>National Road Safety Week<\/strong>, we bring to you some of the effects of noise pollution:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>1. Hearing Issues<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Unwanted sounds that our ears cannot filter can create health issues. Our ears can only take in a particular range of sounds. Man-made noises like airplanes, vehicles, and horns are too loud for human ears.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Constant exposure to loud noise can lead to harmful <strong>effects of noise pollution<\/strong>. These include damage to our eardrums, cells and membranes in the inner ear\u00a0 which may further lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, or deafness. As a result of this long term exposure to noise, we lose our sensitivity to sounds that our bodies pick up automatically.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2. Cognitive &amp; Behavioural Issues<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Noise affects brain reactions and concentration, resulting in poor performance over time. Too much noise in the brain slows response times and dulls the mind. <strong>Noise pollution<\/strong> also leads to memory loss, making studying difficult.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Studies reveal that youngsters who live near train stations or airports struggle to learn. People who live near airports or busy roadways tend to have more headaches, take more sleeping medicines and sedatives, are more prone to have minor accidents, and seek psychiatric care.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>3. Mood Disorders<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Noise pollution in offices, construction sites, pubs, and even our homes can affect our mental health. Anxiety, despair, hysteria, and hypertension have all been related to excessive exposure to <strong>sound pollution<\/strong> in both people and animals.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With more noise, people become more irritated and less patient. These can lead to chronic health difficulties later in life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>4. Sleeping Disorders<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While it may not seem like much, excessive noise can disrupt your sleep, causing irritation and discomfort. You may suffer from weariness if you don\u2019t get enough sleep. This will impact your performance at work and make you unable to carry out chores at home. It is consequently advised to get a good night\u2019s sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If a noise is disrupting your sleep, take action to reduce it. While it is unavoidable in some cases (like TV or electronics), it can be easily prevented by changing one\u2019s lifestyle. Surprisingly, our ears require 16 hours of rest to recover from two hours of 100 dB exposure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>5. Heart Problems<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>High blood pressure, heart disease, and stress-related cardiac issues are on the rise. Elevated intensity noise interrupts normal blood flow, increasing blood pressure and heart rate. Because lowering these rates depends on our understanding of noise or sound pollution, we must be conscious of the consequences.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>6. Trouble Communicating<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>High decibel noise might disrupt free communication. This may cause misunderstandings and difficulty understanding others. In addition, constant loud noise can cause severe headaches and emotional instability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>7. Impact On Wildlife\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Wildlife is more susceptible to noise pollution than people due to their reliance on sound. Animals develop superior hearing than humans to ensure their survival. The recently published Biology Letters study shows that human-made noise impacts many animals.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For example, with increasing <strong>causes of noise pollution<\/strong>, pets are more aggressive in homes with persistent noise. They get easily disoriented and have various behavioural issues. Hearing loss in animals makes them easy prey and leads to population decline. Others lose their hunting skills, disrupting the ecosystem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Effects_of_Air_Pollution_on_Health\"><\/span><strong>Effects of Air Pollution on Health<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The process of burning gas to power cars and trucks emits a variety of pollutants into the atmosphere, which is the primary source of air pollution. Secondary pollution is caused by chemical reactions that occur between pollutants after they are released into the atmosphere. This <strong>National Road Safety Week<\/strong>, let\u2019s discuss some of the effects of air pollution:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>1. Respiratory and Cardiovascular Disorders<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The consequences of air pollution are dire. Multiple <strong>sources of air pollution<\/strong> are known to cause a variety of respiratory and cardiovascular problems, including asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart attacks, and strokes as well as cancer. Several million people are reported to have died directly or indirectly as a result of air pollution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2. Children\u2019s Health Issues<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Even before you take your first breath, air pollution is harmful to your health. Pregnancy exposure to high levels of air pollution results in miscarriages, premature delivery, asthma, autism, and spectrum disorders in young children. Additionally, it has the potential to impair a child\u2019s early brain development and induce pneumonia, which kills almost a million children under the age of five.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Health issues among children are among the most adverse <strong>effects of air pollution<\/strong>. Children living in locations exposed to air pollutants are at an increased risk of developing short-term respiratory infections and pulmonary illnesses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>3. Wildlife Impact<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Like people, animals are subjected to some of the same debilitating impacts of air pollution. Toxic substances in the air can drive wildlife species to seek new habitats. Toxic pollutants settle on the water\u2019s surface and can potentially harm sea life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>4. UV Rays Affect\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ozone is a gas found in the earth\u2019s stratosphere that protects humans from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. The ozone layer on Earth is decreasing as a result of <strong>air pollution<\/strong> caused by chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere. As the ozone layer depletes, it emits harmful rays back onto the planet, causing skin and eye ailments. UV radiation can also affect crops.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Noise and air pollution from vehicles is a major contributor to health issues. Clean air and a peaceful environment benefit everyone. By knowing the causes of noise pollution and air pollution, there are actions you can take to help reduce the amount of pollution caused due to vehicles.\u00a0During this National Road Safety Week, we urge everyone to take certain necessary measures against the <strong>causes of air pollution<\/strong> and noise pollution. You can walk or ride a bike for a short distance, take public transportation, share cabs, avoid idling, and invest in fuel-efficient vehicles. For the reduction of noise pollution, you can fit low noise tires to vehicles, walk or cycle, buy a quieter car, and drive slowly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div ><style>#sp-ea-35997 .spcollapsing { height: 0; overflow: hidden; transition-property: height;transition-duration: 300ms;}.sp-easy-accordion-enabled .eap_section_title_35997, body .eap_section_title_35997 { color: #444; margin-bottom:  30px; }#sp-ea-35997.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single {margin-bottom: 10px; border: 1px solid #e2e2e2; }#sp-ea-35997.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.ea-header a {color: #444;}#sp-ea-35997.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.sp-collapse>.ea-body {background: #fff; color: #444;}#sp-ea-35997.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single {background: #eee;}#sp-ea-35997.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.ea-header a .ea-expand-icon { float: left; color: #444;font-size: 16px;}a.collapsed {\r\n    color: #212326 !important;\r\n}<\/style><h2 class=\"eap_section_title eap_section_title_35997\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_National_Road_Safety_Week\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions National Road Safety Week<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"sp_easy_accordion-1778718461\"><div id=\"sp-ea-35997\" class=\"sp-ea-one sp-easy-accordion\" data-ea-active=\"ea-click\" data-ea-mode=\"vertical\" data-preloader=\"\" data-scroll-active-item=\"\" data-offset-to-scroll=\"0\"><div class=\"ea-card ea-expand sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q1_Why_is_the_National_Road_Safety_Week_celebrated\"><\/span><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-359970\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse359970\" aria-controls=\"collapse359970\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-minus\"><\/i> Q1.
