A review on the current condition and control of campus noise pollution in central region of China

Abstract

With the increasing public attention to environmental protection, the control of pollution has become a joint goal of human. As one of the four major environmental pollutions, noise pollution seriously affects the normal study, work and health of teachers and students in schools, hence becoming an environmental issue of general concern in modern society. At present, the research and prevention of noise in colleges and universities are still in the initial stage in China. In addition, there are few noise studies in universities based on regions. Most of people are lack of enough attention to noise pollution, prevention and control measures and there is much room for improvement in all aspects. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current situation and causes of campus noise pollution in the central region of China and put forward some suggestions to improve the quality of sound environment on campus. In the end, it will provide some feasible references for the research in related fields.

Analysis of Noise pollution level in Enugu campus, of the University of Nigeria

“…Ou et al (2021) believed that noise pollution seriously affects the normal study, work and health of teachers and students in schools while monitory noise pollution is six universities in China. The study concludes that noise pollution has become a more and more common social problem around students and teachers.…”

“…The noise pollution was attributed to rapid urbanization and industrialization associated with high number of automobiles, generating plants, industries, and marketing strategies using mobile advertisement vans and mobile vendors, and conversion of residential areas to business and artisanal outfit.

A waterborne polyurethane‐based noise‐reducing material and factors influencing its damping and noise‐reducing performance

“…Long-term exposure to a noisy environment not only leads to a severe decline in attention 1 but also causes mental and physical health problems. [2][3][4] Investigations in schools and residential areas in China have confirmed that public transportation and cars are the main sources of urban traffic noise, [5][6][7][8] and that the sound energy is concentrated at low-and middle-frequencies (0-2000 Hz). [9][10][11] Noise barriers are one of the most effective measures for alleviating traffic noise.…”
