EN3008 Noise Pollution Control in Industries Syllabus:
EN3008 Noise Pollution Control in Industries Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
To regulate and control noise producing and generating sources.
To maintain the ambient air quality standards in respect of noise.
UNIT I SOURCES OF NOISE POLLUTION
Noise pollution – global implications of noise pollution-Sources-classification of noise pollutants-units of noise-effects of noise pollution on human animals and property and plants
UNIT II PROPAGATION OF NOISE
Noise pollution chemistry-basics of acoustics-specification of sound-power intensity-sound pressure levels-point and line sources-multiple sources-outdoor and indoor noise propagation psycho acoustics-noise criteria.
UNIT III EFFECTS OF NOISE POLLUTION
Noise criteria-effects of noise on health-annoyance rating schemes-special noise environments-infra sound-ultra sound-impulsive sound-and sonic boom-noise standards-and limit values-noise instrumentation-monitoring procedure-noise indices.
UNIT IV CONTROL OF NOISE POLLUTION
Control – source correction methods-control equipment -prevention of noise pollutionsuppression of noise at source-acoustic zoning-methods of prevention.
UNIT V STANDARD FOR NOISE POLLUTION
Sources – weighting networks-measurement of noise indices-noise pollution standards-active and passive methods-vibrations and their measurements-case study-of impact on human health.
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
COURSE OUTCOME:
The students completing the course will have
CO1 an understanding of the nature and characteristics of, noise pollution and basic concepts of air quality management
CO2 ability to identify, formulate and solve air and noise pollution problems
CO3 ability to design stacks and particulate air pollution control devices to meet applicable laws.
CO5 Explain the source and types of industrial air pollution and their environmental impacts and choose the regulatory laws pertaining to environmental protection
CO6 Conduct research to develop effective management systems for industrial air pollution that are technically sound, economically feasible and socially acceptable
