NOISE AND HUMAN HEALTH

A developed transport network means big advantages for a society. Meanwhile, the development of this economic area affects the components of biosphere, chiefly the atmospheric air and soil cover. In addition to the harmful environmental effects of transport, the negative impact of noise may happen, too. This problem typically is faced in recent decades throughout the world as well as in Azerbaijan Republic, while the rapidly growing motor industry is the main source of the impact of noise. This work deals with the study of intensity of noise, caused by motor vehicles, and its impact on human health. The research was carried out by the 208 km-long highway of Baku-Guba-Russian border (M-1), which passes the lowland of Samur-Davachi, the north-eastern part of Azerbaijan.
