Industrial noise pollution in 27 industries in Southeastern Nigeria showed a noise exposure rating greater than unity in over 20 of the investigated sites (Onuu and Akpan, 2006) Although almost all the workers contacted wanted the occupational noise pollution controlled because of recommended by WHO for industrial, commercial, shopping and traffic areas, indoors and outdoors areas to prevent impairments In Nigeria, there is no legal framework upon which noise pollution can be abated Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) in Nigeria only provided daily noise exposure limits for workers in industry (ie, 90 dB(A) for 8 hEnvironmental Noise Pollution in Ilorin Metropolis, Nigeria rapid industrialization of Aba has led to enormous noise pollution Aba is a commercial town located between latitude, 51167°N and longitude, 73667°E It has a population of 500, 183 (NPC, 2006) The production of irritating sounds with pitch higher than the human hearing capabilities is known as noise pollution (Gray, 2008) Loud continuous noise is a key characteristic of some industrial areasEvaluation of Noise Pollution Levels in Aba Industrial Machinery Noise Motors and compressors used in the industries create a lot of noise which adds to the detrimental state of noise pollution in Nigeria Plumbing, boilers, generators, air conditioners and fans creates a lot of noise in the buildings and add to the prevailing noise pollution The Legal Regime of Noise Pollution in Nigeria of noise pollution Background: Given the huge and uncontrolled number of generators in use in Nigerian cities, it is likely that a good number of people in the country are exposed to harmful level of generator noise pollution Exposure to excessive noise level endangers human health A notable health hazard of noiseAwareness and Exposure to Generator Noise Pollution in
