Title

APPRAISAL AND MAPPING THE SPATIAL-TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF URBAN ROAD TRAFFIC NOISE

Pages

  325-335

Abstract

 The present study aims to compute the temporal and spatial distribution of road traffic induced noise POLLUTION in an URBAN environment by monitoring and mapping. The study area was the entire Asansol city of West Bengal, India. A total of 35 locations were selected for collection of data, classified as industrial, commercial, residential, sensitive and mixed areas according to the national regulatory standards. Noise recordings were conducted during morning and night hours. Day time Leq level ranged between 51.2 and 89.0 dB(A), whereas it ranged between 43.5 and 81.9 dB(A) during night. The average Ldn value was 73.28±8.51 dB(A) (Range: 55.1 – 87.3); The Traffic noise index (TNI) was 80.62 ± 15.88 dB(A) (Range: 49.4 - 115.8). The computed data were mapped by utilization of GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM methodology that allowed the visualization and identification of the extent and distribution of sound POLLUTION across the study area. This proves to be an ideal tool for carrying out noise impact assessments in URBAN settings. The study reveals that present noise level in all the locations exceeds the prescribed limit. Based on the finding, it can be mentioned that the population in this industrial town are exposed to significantly high noise level, which is caused mostly due to road traffic. The study reveals that vulnerable establishments like schools and hospitals are subjected to significantly high noise level throughout the day and immediate mitigatory measures are required to alleviate the problem.
