Dr. Parth Dalal Highlights Noise Pollution's Impact on Kids
Dr. Parth Dalal, a Pediatric Intensivist at Manipal Hospital in Kharadi, Pune, raises critical concerns about the impact of increasing noise pollution on children's health. While the Pune Municipal Corporation's environment status report claims a reduction in noise levels, Dr. Dalal highlights the significant rise in hearing issues among children due to prolonged exposure to loud sounds. He warns that constant noise can adversely affect speech, language, and learning abilities, and may also lead to behavioral changes, poor concentration, and sleep disturbances. Dr. Dalal emphasizes that sustained high decibel levels can cause irreversible damage to the inner ear, leading to noise-induced hearing loss and even cardiovascular issues.
