According to him, noise pollution, which is an unwanted sound in excess of the permissible limits has become very prevalent in Lagos environment.”

The menace is causing stress with severe health implications, while those with long term exposure will be suffering from hearing loss that is detrimental to human health.”

Adults are believed to be the ones thought to show great concerns from problems associated with noise pollution, but children are quite vulnerable as well, more so as there are no known visible symptoms at an early age.
