The State Health
Department’s Indust-

has long been involv-

Operating out of the
Division of Occupat-

the program has rout-

members of industry
to implement recom-
mended noise control
measures.
The Health Depart-

just beginning to
delve into this ph-

Local governments

The Program is as-

Noise comes in
many forms, and it
•described by many
people as unwanted
sounds. But whatever
the definition, noise
is a problem--one
that has been creep-
ing up on all of us
over the years.
Noise pollution is
fast becoming recogn-
ized as great a pub-
lic health problem
as is air or water •
or land pollution.
The increased use
of machinery has re-
sulted in a growing
assortment of indus-
trial situations
which threaten the
hearing capabilities
of workers. But noise
goes far beyond the
confines of plant
sites.
The sounds of our
cities are the re-
sult, not only of
elevated plant nois-
es, but of the roar
of traffic, the bl-
are of horns and sir-
ens, construction
noise-makers such as
jackhammers, and
the roar of jet air-
liners. No one any-
where is immune to
these noisy, irrit-
able influences.
Noise can actually
surround you. It
travels in pressure
waves from its sour-
ce, like the ripples
caused by a rock
tossed into a pond.
Invisible, it is us-
ually carried by air,
but it can also be
conducted by the
wood walls of a home,
the steel floors of
offices, by the gl-
ass in windows, and
by the metal bodies
of autos and airpl-
anes.
The federal govern-
ment requires that
the environmental
impact--including
noise effects--be'
assessed before pro-
ceeding on federally
funded construction
projects.
Within our own
state, members of
the legislature have
asked the State Heal-
th-Department to __
study measures avail-
Democracy comes from
two Greek words meaning
“people rule.”
