The increasing level of pollution is fast becoming a problem for the world. Where work efficiency and health are being affected by air pollution, the same sound pollution is also becoming fatal for humans. In a new study, it has been claimed that due to the increasing noise in the world, the age of humans is working.
According to researchers, people are not even aware of this problem. The study has been done in the US Massachusetts hospital. According to them, the average age of people living in New York is decreasing due to noise pollution by 10.2 months. In the study, the researchers found that loud noises caused the release of many chemicals in a person’s body. This affects the nervous system, due to which the speed of heartbeat increases.
Diseases caused by loud noises: According to researchers, the sounds that disturb sleep are called chronic sounds. Those who live on the side of the highway and listen to the noise of traffic all day long, they get used to it. That’s why these sounds do not disturb them, but their body reacts to these sounds and diseases like hyper tension, heart attack occur. Researchers said that people living in quiet areas like villages, get disturbed by sudden loud noises and their body reacts more. For them, this danger increases three times more than the people living in the city.
