“…These levels were also greater than the recommended benchmark. The noise investigation that was conducted in Poland and Columbia demonstrates that the equivalent level of noise remains within the prescribed value (Sondakh et al, 2014). The process of industrialization goes hand in hand with the progress made by develop-ing countries.…”

Most people are not aware that noise from road traffic is the principal cause of annoyance to exposed people. In relation to this, the review aims at providing an overview of research carried out on noise pollution monitoring, mapping, modelling, and health impacts in recent years in different countries. The electronic databases were searched to select the studies related to noise monitoring, mapping, modelling, and health impacts on humans. A total of 91 most relevant studies were reviewed in this article. A comparison of different instruments available for noise monitoring was done. Studies related to monitoring and mapping reveal that most of the locations have higher noise levels in the environment, breaching the noise limits. Only a few articles enumerated health impacts and zone-specific monitoring. Many researchers have conducted a questionnaire-based study related to health to identify the impact of noise. Noise models for many developing countries are not available, so their development and modification are still in progress. Proper zone-specific studies and noise maps will help the town planner with better land use planning. Continuous monitoring stations for noise in crowded cities shall be implemented to mitigate noise pollution. Based on the review, it is concluded that long-term research on noise pollution is very much needed worldwide.

“…The study also found that annoyance had an effect on health but there was no evidence of its long-term effect on general health. 16 Relatedly & Sondakh et al, 2 in measuring and evaluating noise levels arising from the operation of Saniratulangi International Airport on the surrounding environment used Standard measurement using sound level meter (SLM) and perception of the people who lived around the airports using a Questionnaire. They employed survey, observation, and documentation in order to obtain the data and information required.…”

“…Related researches have been carried out in different parts of the world on airports to assess the health implication of airport noise on host communities. [2][3][4][5] However; it would seem that since the Ibom international Airport is a recent development, little or no research has been carried out on the airport. This has necessitated this research, to assess the socio-economic impact of the airport on host communities.…”

Air transport has generated negative impacts; one of such impact is Aircraft noise. An increased use of air transportation has overtime resulted into a corresponding increase in aircraft noise which has placed the health of residents of the airport vicinity at great risk. All these notwithstanding, negative activities like noise generation from airports generate impacts of great concern. These impacts have been the major concern of residents at the airport vicinity. Interestingly, this research work measured the impacts of airport noise on the health situation of host communities of Uruan, Okobo and Nsit-Atai. LGA’s in Akwa-Ibom State. Health is the major parameters used in measuring these impacts. A buffer was used to demarcate the study into zones and a systematic sampling technique was employed in selecting the households to be sampled. The sample size composed of 400 respondents and this was determined from the population of the host communities using the Taro Yamane formula. Data needed for this study was obtained from questionnaires administered to the 400 respondents. Secondary data was collected from Obong Victor Attah International Airport Development Company. A sound meter was also used to determine the noise levels within the buffer distance. Data collected were analysed using; percentages, charts, maps and simple linear regression statistical tools. The hypothesis formulated was tested using simple linear regression analysis; the null hypothesis which stated that airport does not significantly impact health was rejected. Results from the analysis indicated that the major health issue resulting from the airport noise were annoyance (43.8%), sleep disturbance (37.9%), increased heart beat (12%) and hearing loss (5%). From this result it is inferred that, Obong Victor Attah International Airport influences negatively on the health of the host communities in the study area. It is recommended that the members of the host community should be enlightened and educated about the dangers of the airport noise on their health. Also, citizen advocacy should be intensified and encouraged on the health impact of noise. it is also imperative that residential buildings should not be approved too close to the Airport this would reduce the severity of these health issues associated with Airport noise.

“…Some cases related to environmental pollution include toxic waste from the inflight catering service ACS, a subsidiary of the Indonesian aviation company PT Angkasa Pura in 2016 (e.g. Sondakh, et al, 2014). Pollution done by M SM Es is not less worrying (e.g.…”

This study seeks to examine the extent to which micro small and medium scale enterprises (MSMEs) apply Environmental Ethics in their business praxis. The data sources were field observations and in-depth interviews with one catering business in Yogyakarta known for its use of locally-sourced food and zero preservatives. This qualitative narrative research aims to answer how and why this selected MSME has demonstrated environmental awareness. The study looks further at the implications of this business practice toward the sustainability thereof. The data analysis reveals that, first, the business owner, driven by internal motivation, used environmentally friendly products to care for customers' satisfaction and need of healthy food. Secondly, the business, however, did not adhere to such external motivation as cutting no trees for fuelwood. Regardless of its damage for the environment, the use of fuelwood reduced production cost and no prohibition for cutting trees was thus far enacted. This study concludes that more efforts should be made to cultivate ecological concerns as the core of sustainable entrepreneurial skills.
