Experimental Investigations on Noise Reduction in Aden Cement Enterprise
Keywords:
Noise,, Noise Effects, Industrial Noise,, Noise MeasurementAbstract
In the last few decades, environment pollution problems created by noise in the industrial sites and community have become of great importance in the industrial countries because of their negative effects on the human-being health. Noise has many serious effects on workers health and causes also a number of serious diseases. Noise has therefore an environmental aspect and its levels have to be reduced near workers or peoples. In this paper, noise radiated by the generator room in Aden Cement Enterprise was measured and analysed. The noise levels measured were high compared to ISO standards. Therefore, a suitable proposal was recommended to reduce noise levels at the surrounding area using barrier materials for the generator room walls and roof and other suitable sound absorption materials from inside.
Results of the new design can be adopted to limit the noise effects on workers’ health.
