Noise is constant and loud sound. To measure the loudness, or volume of sounds, people use a unit called a decibel. When a sound is louder than 70 decibels, it can cause noise pollution. Do you know that the noise from a vacuum cleaner or a motorcycle can result in permanent hearing loss after eight hours? The sounds of a concert are even more serious. They can reach as high as 130 decibels and may cause immediate and permanent hearing loss. Noise pollution can also lead to headaches and high blood pressure. If you are listening to music through headphones, and other people can hear it. it means the music is too loud and unsafe. If there seems to be a ringing or buzzing in your ears, it means the noise is affecting you and damaging your hearing- Wearing earplugs when you go to concerts or other loud events, and listening to music through headphones or headsets at safe levels can help you reduce the effects of noise pollution.

Question 1. Choose ONE appropriate question in the box to each paragraph below:
1/ How do industry and transport cause pollution?
2/ How can I help?
3/ What is the pollution?
4/ How can industry help?
5/ What cause pollution?
6/ What about air pollution?
A. _3__ Pollution is the poisoning of the land, sea and air.
B. __5_ Mainly industry and transport. If you go to any city, you will see too many
factories, too many cars with not enough people in them, and not enough public transport.
C. __1_ Factories and vehicles produce waste which goes into the air and rivers and
spreads all over the land. Poisons in the waste build up over the years and harm trees,
plants, animals, and people.
D. _6__ Waste gases build up in the air, and dissolve into raindrops, forming a weak
acid. This "acid rain" can fall far away from the country which produced it, killing trees in
forests and fish in lakes and rivers.
E. _4__ If companies clean their waste gases before releasing them into the
atmosphere, there'll be much less air pollution and no acid rain. But this can be expensive
and it needs all the world's companies to do it.
F. _2__ Cars pollute the atmosphere. Walk, cycle and use public transport as much as
possible. Only use your car when you really need to, and use unleaded petrol if you can -
lead is one of the most dangerous ingredients in petrol. Join us, and help us to campaign for
cleaner air for everybody.
