Light and Noise Pollution – Assignment, December 2017
Case Study
Each group of TWOS may take a case from your community and divide into suitable number of zones
where noise pollution is expected. After the above identification you may work on the following:
1. Identify the noise and light sources from each zone
2. Find out the noise levels of each zone.
3. Compute Ldn values of the selected case.
4. Estimate the intensity of light at each selected zone (you may use assumptions for the values of P).
5. Compare with the regulatory standards (EPA/ARWA) and find out whether noise and light levels
in your case study are permissible under the respective selected zone or not.
6. Application of noise and light pollution and its control in EIA studies.
7. Develop methodologies to solve the problem by noise reduction at source and by noise reduction
by engineered control of its transmission path (Hint: you may design propose a barrier with proper
design with chosen frequencies to reach attenuation level between 10-20 dB).
8. Propose solution for light pollution control on site if applicable.
