Abstract:
Year-round survey of ambient noise levels monitored at eight locations in Manali, Chennai, are presented. The study area is distinguished by the presence of a cluster of several industries called the Manali Industrial Complex. The cluster includes a large petroleum refinery and several downstream industries. Densely populated residential and commercial localities, besides sensitive institutions like hospitals and schools co-exist with the industries in the area. The survey reveals that ambient noise levels are higher than the statutory limits for most of the time during the day.
