Abstract

The word Pollution has been derived from the Latin word ‘Pollutionem' (meaning to defy or make dirty). Pollutant is a substance, the presence of which causes pollution. The pollutants reach us through the air we breath, the water we drink, the food we eat and the sound we hear. Odum (1971) described Pollution as “an undesirable change in the physical, chemical or biological characteristics of our air, land and water that will harmfully affect human life or that of desirable species, living conditions etc.”. There are seven main types of Pollutions in the environment (i) Air Pollution (ii) Water pollution (iii) Land pollution (iv) Industrial Pollution (v) Sewage Pollution (vi) Noise Pollution (vii) Radiation Pollution. This paper deals with the sequence of various acoustical disturbances caused in the wake of Air Pollution in the segments of industrial, commercial and traffic activities; how it would be harmful to the society at large, explaining its insidious effects and the measures to be adopted to contain its adverse and ill-effects against deterioration of the environment.
