Public health has a significant impact on mortality and has been reported in many researches. This is why it is important to evaluate our immediate environment since man's health lies largely in his environment. This study assessed public attitude to sanitation practices in Effurun, Delta State, Nigeria. The study was done by qualitative survey of the study area where a random sampling technique was employed to obtain response from residents in Effurun on water and accessibility in the study area, sanitation and gray water condition, solid waste management and drainage and occupancy, household pests and diseases. The result of the respondents showed that 63% have access to drinking water regularly within the study area. However, response also shows possible problems relating to water accessibility with respondents indicating conflict with water source use and harsh control of water sources by landlords and land owners which limit water access. Results also indicated that 31% of individuals within the study area were still operating a pit latrines system of faeces disposal while 73% engage in sharing of toilet facilities which are mostly left unclean. The prevalence of shared toilets, existence of pit latrine, negligence of emptying of septic tanks and unhygienic practice associated with cleaning of hands after use of toilet facility show that public health is likely to be breached. The result of the response on solid waste management had 28% and 35% respondents practicing open dump waste disposal and experience of flood respectively in their areas. It can therefore be concluded that the attitude of residents towards public health sanitation is poor and requires attention and intervention.

The increase in the number of vehicles along with the population, the lack of infrastructure in the existing roads, misbehavior of the drivers due to the lack of education lead to an increase in noise pollution. The current study aimed to determine how much noise pollution that people are exposed to in traffic, schools and hospitals in Kayseri, one of the most important industrialized centers in Turkey with a population approximately 1.4 million. The levels of noise pollution averagely varied between 62-72 dBA in the streets and it is observed that the noise level changes depending on the vehicle intense in traffic. The noise levels in schools ranged from 41 to 57 dBA in the morning when window was closed that were higher than the regulation limit.
