        abstract = {Noise pollution refers to the excessive and unnecessary intensity of sound that can pose harmful or dangerous effects on humans and the surrounding ecosystem. Unfortunately, noise pollution is worsening due to ongoing development in Delhi/NCR. Construction sites have emerged as significant contributors to noise pollution, especially in urban areas, as continuous development and construction projects generate high levels of noise. This research conducts a study on “Environmental Impact and Behavior of People Due to High Levels of Noise Pollution at Construction Sites in Delhi/NCR.”
The presence of noise pollution at construction sites poses a significant health risk to individuals involved in construction projects and those who spend extended periods at these sites. Therefore, the primary goals of this study are to identify the factors contributing to noise pollution at construction sites and examine the health impact of this noise on various parties such as workers, operators, engineers, contractors, and nearby residents. Additionally, this study aims to propose solutions to mitigate and reduce noise pollution at construction sites to minimize its negative effects.
A questionnaire survey was designed and data was collected from 108 respondents working at construction sites in Delhi/NCR to identify the most significant factors that impact noise pollution and potential solutions for minimizing it. Construction projects necessitate the use of heavy machinery, power tools, and equipment, exposing construction workers and nearby residents to high noise levels. The collected data were analyzed to achieve the results, and it was found that the operation of heavy machinery significantly affects construction workers and surrounding residents, particularly disturbing their sleep. Based on these findings, this study suggests that construction stakeholders should take necessary precautions to reduce noise pollution.
