摘要

摘要噪声污染是当今时代的一种人为灾害,由于快速的城市化,它比以往任何时候都更加严重和普遍,影响了印度城市地区的生活质量。过境地区产生的噪音过大,对人类健康造成灾难性影响。然而,很少有研究绘制出印度中转站的噪音水平图。本研究的目的是(i)评估那格浦尔主要州际巴士总站Ganeshpeth巴士总站的噪音水平,并在ArcGIS中生成噪音等值线图;(ii)定性评估交通相关噪音对长期暴露在噪音环境中的总站工作人员健康的影响,通过基于包括健康参数指标的问卷进行健康感知调查。这是印度首次在州际巴士总站进行噪音测绘研究。结果显示,整个巴士总站的噪音水平远高于规定的标准,而噪音的来源不单止是车辆往来,更是滥用公共广播系统。有人提出了通过简单的规划导向措施大幅降低噪音水平的解决方案。

Noise pollution and associated health impacts at Ganeshpeth Bus Terminus in Nagpur, India
Abstract Noise pollution, a man-made disaster in the present times, is becoming more severe and pervasive than ever before due to rapid urbanization, affecting quality of life in urban areas in India. Transit areas generate excessive noise which proves disastrous to human health. However, very few studies have mapped noise levels of transit terminals in India. The objectives of this study are (i) assessment of noise levels in Ganeshpeth Bus Terminus, the major interstate bus terminus in Nagpur and generation of noise contour map in ArcGIS and (ii) a qualitative assessment of the impact of traffic-related noise on the health of the people working in the terminus with prolonged exposure to noisy environment, by conducting a health perception survey based on a questionnaire comprising indicators of health parameters. This is a first-of-its-kind study on noise mapping at an interstate bus terminus in India. The results indicate that the noise levels all over the bus terminus site are much higher than the prescribed standards and the source of noise is not only the plying of vehicles but also the misuse of the public address system. Solutions have been suggested to achieve a drastic reduction in noise levels through simple planning-oriented measures.

期刊介绍: Ever since its inception, Noise Mapping has been offering fast and comprehensive peer-review, while featuring prominent researchers among its Advisory Board. As a result, the journal is set to acquire a growing reputation as the main publication in the field of noise mapping, thus leading to a significant Impact Factor. The journal aims to promote and disseminate knowledge on noise mapping through the publication of high quality peer-reviewed papers focusing on the following aspects: noise mapping and noise action plans: case studies; models and algorithms for source characterization and outdoor sound propagation: proposals, applications, comparisons, round robin tests; local, national and international policies and good practices for noise mapping, planning, management and control; evaluation of noise mitigation actions; evaluation of environmental noise exposure; actions and communications to increase public awareness of environmental noise issues; outdoor soundscape studies and mapping; classification, evaluation and preservation of quiet areas.
