In whole Italy, from Aosta down to the Lampedusa Island, you can hear just one scream: stop the noise.

In fact,Noise pollution: the real contamination of XXI century Articles the noise pollution is a big trouble that afflicts modern life. Construction sites, airports, nightclubs, heavy industry, traffic, all these problems put to the test nerves and eardrums of over 40 million Italian people every day (according to WHO).

But what do Italians do to protect themselves from this terrible enemy? Usually and even more often they gather in committees, because the regulations in this field are still very fleeting and subjects to different interpretations according to different schools of thought.

Let’s now try to understand what are noise pollution and its physical and mental damages for the human body.

In fact, this kind of pollution can basically be compared to a big natural and urban environment damage made by the man and by the various actions that he performs in his own habitat. The pollution threshold is surpassed when the damage is caused by an excessive and prolonged exposition to high intensity noises.

To this aim, beyond the classical physical problems (deafness, auditory system problems and diseases), noise pollution over time can also easily provoke some types of mental illness, that can manifest with some symptoms, such as stress and high pressure on people continuously exposed to noise.

The main causes of noise pollution in Italy are the construction sites, airports, road traffic and factories.

Exactly for these reasons, since ancient times these very noisy activities were placed in the city boundaries.

But in a continuous expanding world, a world in constant need of space, this is already almost impossible to apply to the modern economic civilization.

Starting from this concept, we have to reanalyze and limit the sources of high intensity noise and, particularly, the war against the noise produced by the industries can be easily fought on the web, thanks to innovative enterprises that continuously invest on soundproofing technologies and on products able to soundproof every room and any kind of industrial manufacturing process.

On these bases, more and more sector enterprises show up on the internet world to propose their own soundproofed cabins, ideal for the industrial filtration, to potential customers, which are looking for the maximum reduction of their noise emissions, in order to increase the standard of living of their own employees and of the others factories nearby.

The ideal thing in this case is to anticipate times, relying on companies specialized in industrial soundproofing; this should allow them reducing emissions and noises to the minimum level and in any case to reduce Decibel (measure unit of sound, dB).

This kind of investments can allow great benefits, both to legal goals and to the productivity goal, in terms of increasing human resources’ standard of living. So you just have to inform yourself and immediately install these types of industrial soundproofing systems and environmental soundproofing.
